Description from the seller
Attractive and scarce 1856 Netherlands – 1 Gulden, Willem III – Silver (0.945)
A beautiful mid‑19th‑century silver Gulden struck under King Willem III, issued during a period of monetary reform and increasing industrialisation in the Netherlands. Coins from the 1850s are sought after due to their relatively modest mintages and strong historical appeal.
This example shows sharp details, clear portrait features, and well‑preserved legends — a desirable piece for collectors of Dutch Kingdom silver.
