About the Dutch 10 Guilder Gold Coin

The Dutch Guilder gold coin formed part of the Latin Monetary Union-era European gold coinage system, sharing the .900 fineness standard with French Francs, Belgian Francs and Swiss Francs. The 10 Guilder was struck from the mid-19th century into the early 20th, first under King William III (reigned 1849-1890) and subsequently under his daughter Queen Wilhelmina (reigned 1890-1948). Wilhelmina's effigy on these coins — a young queen at the start of her record 58-year reign — is among the most recognisable in Dutch numismatics. Both portrait types retain identical gold content, making the 10 Guilder a straightforward precious metals position with the bonus of historical portraiture.
