Comment
This coin was issued by a Dutch carnival association, named De Kraonige Zwaone from Huissen. It is a fantasy coin used during the period of Dutch carnival. For a long period of time a new design of the boezen where minted when a new Prince Carnival was appointed (see: Boezen).
Several versions of this token exist, with different names of Princes Carnival, and different years. This is the most common one.
