History & Notable Facts
The 1923 Wilhelmina commemorative coin features one of the most detailed portraits ever struck on a Dutch silver piece, capturing the queen in a profile that even her contemporaries remarked upon for its precision.
Struck in Utrecht from 0.720 fine silver, it marks her 25th year on the throne, a milestone amid the post-war recovery. The obverse shows Wilhelmina with a simple crown, while the reverse displays the Dutch lion rampant. Mintage numbers are uncertain; official records from the Dutch mint were spotty in those years.
I've handled dozens of these over three decades, and they hold up well, though the edge lettering can wear thin with circulation. As for myths about hidden treasures, let's just say not every silver coin is a pirate's map.
