Yes "VOC" is the symbol for the Dutch East India Company. Cool coin, what a luster it has

That was my "thought" as well Sentinel....

It's truly incredible that the coin has a copper shine to it coming straight out of the ground. I have dug quite a few old coppers and have never seen a shine off of one regardless of the type of soil.

Nice coin tho
