Description from the seller

Beautiful and rare 2.5 guilders or rijksdaalder from 1849 in above-average quality.

A rijksdaalder or 2.5 guilders still had purchasing power in 1849, comparable to about 33 euros in 2025. That's a considerable amount, given that the daily wage of a worker at that time was approximately 1.50 guilders. For a rijksdaalder, you could stay overnight in a middle-class inn with breakfast. For more numismatic history, see https://www.dutchcoinlegacy.nl/geschiedenis.

Seller's Story

Dutch Coin Legacy is a professionalized hobby. Our focus is on coins from the Netherlands from the arrival of the large city in the late 13th century up to the last Gulden coins in 2001. Our ambition is not only to buy and sell coins but also to tell the story behind each coin; what could you buy with it at the time? What did you have to do to earn it? What did the historical context look like? This makes a coin much more than just a coin. On www.dutchcoinlegacy.nl, you can find a diverse range of coins as well as much of this history, and even download a free PDF book about it.
