Hello, I am from Holland. I have a lot of those coins, but I never saw one of this counterstamped coins in circulation. It is not officially done too. Do you understand the article which you put among, or do you want me to translate it?
The issue related to the "Dutch help for Poles" campaign. An action aimed at humanoid help for the Polish nation after the declaration of martial law (1981) in the country.

Unique offer for a very good aim.
For the support of the humanitary help of the people of Poland is issued:
'Silver Julianarijksdaalders with Polish eagle-stamp'.
*From the revenue of every coin, f10,- is transferred to the action:
'Nederland helps the Polish people'.
*Everybody who donates, is helping this action and will get
a valuable remembering.
*The Julianarijksdaalders are stamped with a hardened punch, this is called a 'klop'.
as far back as the Middle Ages coins were counterstamp to give them a different use.
*A public notary will supervise the process, to make sure there is only a limited amount
of coins to be stamped.
To order, pay f55,50 (!!!) to sus and so bank in Apeldoorn
