NETHERLANDS EAST INDIES: 1 sen, NE2603 (1944), Y-A66, wayang puppet head // denomination numeral within native design, a very pleasing example, NGC graded MS61, RRR. Struck at the Osaka mint for use in the Japanese occupied Netherlands East Indies. Although some 80,000,000 were struck or ordered to be struck, none were ever placed in circulation. The war situation had worsened to the point that shipping the coins became virtually impossible. Consequently, none of these coins ever reached the East Indies and almost the entire issue was lost or remelted at the mint. Dates are from the Japanese Shinto dynastic calendar. They remain extremely rare and historically important.
