History & Notable Facts
What sets the Wilhelmina 10 Gulden apart is its role as a circulating gold coin in an era when most nations hoarded such metal for reserves. Struck from 1901 to 1933 at the Utrecht mint, it contained 6.72 grams of .900 fine gold, making it practical currency rather than mere ornament.
The obverse bore a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina, designed by the skilled engraver P.J. Merkestijn. Her reign spanned turbulent times, including the First World War, yet these coins maintained a consistent weight and purity until economic pressures forced a halt. Mintage figures vary by year; some records are incomplete, lost in archival shifts.
Edges were reeded to deter clipping, a common fraud back then.
For those wondering about its survival, many examples show wear from actual use, not just display cases. That alone debunks the myth of these as untouchable relics.
