[QUOTE="jaceravone, post: 598548, member: 9474"]The first coin which is a 10 Florin Gold piece. It is really small....smaller than our dime. Only 1.24g of gold. This is to commemorate the death of the Queen Mother Julianna. Mintage is only 1000. The second coin is a 10 Florin Silver piece. It is about the size of our commemorative silver dollars and is made out of sterling silver (0.7435oz). This is to commemorate the "Status Aparte" - separate status of the island from the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Mintage is 2000. The third coin is a 25 Florin Gold piece. This is about the size of our $10 AGE coin but only has a tad bit more gold than our $5 AGE. This is commemorating the same thing as the silver coin above and was purchased as a two coin set. Mintage of this coin is 1500. I don't know how many of the two coin sets they made, but I do know that you can buy each coin separately as well. Anyway, I am glad that many of you enjoyed the numismatic visit to the island of Aruba and I have something to always remember the trip. The guy who now runs the museum is Roy Feliciana. He is married to the founder's daughter. If anyone visits, be sure to look for my name in the guest book![/QUOTE]
