AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The 2½ guilders (rijksdaalder) from 1898 without the dot is a rare mint variant of the coronation rijksdaalder of Queen Wilhelmina. In this coin, the usual dot between the initials and surname of the designer (P PANDER instead of P. PANDER) is missing at the bottom of the neck truncation.
The absence of the dot on the 2½ guilder from 1898 was caused by a clogged mint die (also known as a filled die).
The exact number minted of the dotless variant is unknown. The total mintage of the 2½ guilders from 1898 was 100,000 pieces, but the Royal Dutch Mint did not keep track at the time of how many coins were minted with a clogged die.
Expert estimate. Based on what appears at auctions and in collections, Laurens Schulman has assigned this variant the rarity code R2 (very rare). In Dutch numismatics, R2 generally stands for an estimated number of surviving specimens consisting of only a few dozen to at most a few hundred pieces.
