King William III's golden tenners were minted from 1875 to 1889, in editions ranging from a few tens of thousands to several millions. No gold coins of five guilders were minted during that period.

Between 1850 and 1853, negotiation tokens of 5, 10 and 20 guilders were also minted under William III. The edition was also small (a maximum of 10,000 pieces per type) so these medals are also quite scarce. 

Since the 1875 issue, the official weight has been reduced fractionally: from 6.729 grams to 6.720 grams. In practice, however, this makes little difference. A sample of auction catalogues and the collection database of the Money Museum shows that the weights of tenners from all periods can vary between 6.69 and 6.73 grams due to inaccuracies and wear and tear.
