Golden Dutch 10 Euro

The Dutch gold €10 coin contains 6.72 grams of gold with a fineness of 900/1000 (21.6 carat). This is exactly the same weight and purity as the classic Dutch gold ten-guilder coin from before the euro. That makes it appealing to investors: you’re buying a bullion-style coin with a familiar standard, high purity, and a size that is easy to trade worldwide.

From 2002 onward, the Dutch gold €10 was issued each year as a commemorative coin, always with a completely new design. Both the obverse and the reverse changed with every theme, which quickly made the series popular among collectors. Mintages were limited as well: in 2002 and 2003 up to around 30,000 pieces, and from 2005 often only 2,000–8,000 coins per issue. Those low numbers mean many years can carry a collector’s premium on top of the intrinsic gold value.

The series ended in 2018. The Royal Dutch Mint discontinued the gold €10 as its focus shifted to other coin programs. With us, you can purchase Dutch gold €10 coins from various years.

Design

Between 2002 and 2018, the gold €10 coin was released every year—and in some years more than once—with an entirely new design. Each theme received its own unique obverse and reverse, meaning no two “gold tens” are exactly alike. That makes the series not only historically interesting, but also highly sought after by collectors who like to complete the full set.

From its introduction in 2002, the Royal Dutch Mint used modern production techniques such as computer-aided design and finely engraved dies. As a result, Dutch gold €10 coins are typically highly detailed, with crisp lines, strong relief, and refined textures that were not achievable in earlier eras. Many issues also feature reflective fields, a signature characteristic of modern commemorative coinage.

This combination of detail, finish, and precision makes the coins difficult to counterfeit. In addition, mintages are often extremely low (sometimes just 2,000–8,000 pieces per design), which makes counterfeiting commercially unattractive. The Royal Dutch Mint itself emphasizes that its commemorative coins are produced with high accuracy and strict quality control, supporting the recognizability and reliability of the designs.
