Dutch, a higher res image would help to plate the position (though it could probably be done based on the configuration of the guide dot and the recuts), but as a Type IV it is Plate 1 Late. As a rule the recuts are easier to make out at the top than at the bottom, but this stamp has the top cut away. The portion of the stamp at bottom shows a recut, but this might not be so evident if you don't have a lot of experience looking at these stamps. However, your stamp has a dead giveaway that identifies it as a Type IV: it is recut twice at bottom. The inner recut (between the E of One and the C of Cent) is easy to spot and occurs only on Type IV stamps.

I would plate it as 23R1L (type IV, #9).

The fact that it is "RELIEF B - EC CUT", that leaves 12 positions.
24L, 42L, 66L, 69L, 21R, 23R, 26R, 43R, 45R, 46R, 47R, 87R
The guide dot chart eliminates most of them real quick.
