    I recently purchased a gold 10 Gulden coin and wanted to give it a little company. I have purchased several other coins of the Netherlands/Holland/Dutch colonies. I'll start with the oldest...

    1744 2 Stuiver. This is a smallish silver coin and it looks like it has been clipped a little.

    1790 Dutch East Indies copper Duit. These have been called the "first New York Penny" as they were used all over the Dutch colonies, not just the East Indies (now Indonesia).

    It still amazes me that one can buy coins from the 18th Century for so very little.

    And into the 20th Century...

    1917 Silver 10 cents (a bit smaller than a US dime)

    [sorry for the blurry obverse...just couldn't seem to get one sharp]

    The coin that started this set...
    1917 Gold 10 Gulden (or Guilders...both terms are used). Featuring the long-reigning Queen Wilhelmina I. .1947 ozt gold.

    And these little 1/10 Gulden coins are again from the Dutch East Indies. During World War II, these were minted by the US Mint in San Francisco. They are the same size, weight and purity as their homeland counterpart the 10 Cent (like that posted above).

    Nice to see some international interest for these dutch coins. (I'm from amsterdam)
    The 1790 duit actually is from a later date. In the early 1800's there was a shortage of copper coinage in the netherlands east-indies. In response to this copper coins were struck between 1827 and 1843 . Because these were trusted, these had a fixed date of 1790, and the voc logo. Which already had ceased to exist decades before.

    Thanks for that info! I don't think I'd read it before about the re-strikes.

    Ik ben (bijna) vanuit de buurt -- errm, from the German Rhine-Ruhr area. :) And I have quite a few Dutch coins too. As a kid I found those tiny dubbeltjes amazing, and kept a few. Cannot say that this was actually the beginning of me being a coin collector, but I still like them. They even get better (Ø 8 mm) in the minimuntsets from those years ...

    One of my favourite monarchs to collect the coins of, an indomitable Queen who reigned a long time from childhood until she abdicated in favour of her daughter in 1948:

    Here is a large presentation medal from ca. 1898 that uses a similar portrait to that used on the silver and gold coinage:

    For me this medal has a lot going for it, a very young Queen Wilhelmina, the large size, the amazing detail etc. It compliments my many many 10 Gulden coins from her reign.

    BTW love the dubbeltjes and stuivers - those are really cool.

    For some reason I've taken a shine to the half cent and 2 1/2 cent coins. Maybe it's because it's an unusual denomination. Most seem to sell for less than the book price.

    I agree. The 2 1/2 cent is a very interesting denomination. I have one myself...

    I like how they added "100 C." at the bottom of the 1 Gulden coin. :) Not really a dual denomination piece, but close ...
