<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Guilder Pincher, post: 8320895, member: 87595&quot;]I decided to indulge my desire for Dutch gold again, now that I can still (just) afford them. Two more off the bucket list!</p><p><br /></p><p>Kingdom of the Netherlands, Willem III, 10 Gulden 1875. .900 gold, 6.729 grams. KM #105. The portrait of the elderly king is unique to the 10 gulden coins and shows why Willem III was known by then as &quot;King Gorilla&quot; by his many, many, MANY detractors. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1473863[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1473864[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Kingdom of the Netherlands, Wilhelmina, 5 Gulden 1912, .900 gold, 3.364 grams. KM #151. This coin remained a one-year type as their predicted popularity failed to materialize. This is one of the few Dutch coins struck without mint and privy marks. It was felt at the time that these were no longer necessary, since there&#039;d been only one mint for the last century anyway, and the master of the mint was by then a government employee without much personal responsibility, making the marks unnecessary. Thankfully, tradition ultimately prevailed! </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1473868[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1473867[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
