Historical background
This silver three-guilder was minted in 1795 in Enkhuizen, the historic mint town of West Friesland.
The year 1795 marks a major turning point in Dutch history. With the French invasion and the flight of stadtholder William V, the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands came to an end and the Batavian Republic was proclaimed.
The coin still bears the traditional symbolism of the old Republic. The Dutch Maiden represents freedom, while the Bible refers to faith as the foundation of the state. The crowned Generality Arms on the reverse emphasizes the unity of the Dutch provinces.
A large silver three-guilder from the historic transitional year 1795, featuring a distinctive depiction of the Dutch Maiden and the Generality Arms.
