AI-assisted summary

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.
