# 135 - Huguenot-Walloon
Continuing our series of the American Half Dollars Commemoratives, we will today present the 1924 "Huguenot-Walloon".
As all the commemorative half dollars, it weights 12,5g with a 90% silver purity.
This coin commemorates the 300th anniversary of the settling of New Netherland, the Middle States, in 1624, by Walloons, French and Belgian Huguenots, under the Dutch West India Company.
On the obverse we see the portraits of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny and of William I, Prince of Orange. The Admiral had died 52 years before the settling and the Prince died 40 years before the settling. What are they doing here? Do not ask me...
The reverse bore a depiction of the ship Nieuw Nederland.
A total of 142,080 coins were distributed. The actual price is around U$235.00 in this grade.
This series will continue very soon.
