10 Gulden Gold Willem: a 19th-century gold coin featuring King William III

• Manufacturer: The Royal Dutch Mint struck the kingdom's guilders for a long time, including this 10 guilder coin.
• Motif: the bearded profile of King William III, accompanied by the inscription “GOD ZIJ MET ONS”, meaning “God be with us”.
• Material / fineness: Nine tenths of the coin consist of pure gold, which corresponds to a fineness of 900/1,000.
• Gold content: The total weight of 6.72 g includes 6.05 g of fine gold.
• Era: struck under a king who reigned from 1849 to 1890.

This 10 guilder coin takes you back to the 19th century, to the reign of King William III. At that time, people in the Netherlands still paid with gold coins like this one. Today it is a genuine witness to that era, whose value lies in the gold itself.

King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg

William III ascended the throne in 1849 and remained King of the Netherlands until his death in 1890. He was the first king to reign from the very beginning under the constitution of 1848, which gave parliament more rights. In personal union he was also Grand Duke of Luxembourg; this link ended with his death because a different order of succession applied there. His successor on the Dutch throne was his daughter Wilhelmina, whose portrait appears on later 10 guilder coins. With this piece, you therefore own the golden counterpart from the generation before.

Royal portrait with full beard and motto

The product photo shows the king in profile, with a full beard and combed-back hair. Added to this is the Dutch inscription “GOD ZIJ MET ONS”, separated from the king's name by small stars. Because the coins passed through many hands in everyday payments, the relief and lettering are worn to different degrees depending on the piece. A specific year of minting cannot be selected; each piece brings its own past with it.

From guilder to tangible asset

The guilder remained the currency of the Netherlands until the introduction of the euro. As a means of payment, this coin has long since served its time, but its gold content has not. Unlike a banknote, gold has an intrinsic value that does not depend on a printed figure. As an inflation hedge, it comes in exactly where paper money loses purchasing power over time. For your crisis protection, what also counts is that physical gold is recognised worldwide and does not depend on any bank. It is this permanence that makes gold so well suited to provision across generations.
