Foreign coin identification

[tcurrier]

My great grandfather gave me this coin 50 years ago. It is the only old coin that
I have. It appears to be from the Netherlands, minted in 1855. Any opinions on its rarity, value
or any other information ? Thanks !

Not in the greatest condition, but definitely an interesting coin. I wish I had asked my great grandfather for some background on the coin now ;-)

If he was in the service and deployed to Europe during either of the two WWs, that might give you a clue.
