Golden tenner 1897

Golden tenner Queen Wilhelmina (1897). In the 20th century, the circulation of the golden tenners rose sharply. This coin is therefore ideal to have in your possession to be able to lean on the gold price as well as on a collector's item. The golden tenner has a weight of 6.7200 grams with a content of 90.0% (.900) and the diameter is 22.5 mm.

From 1815 to 1933, the golden tenners were seen as official Dutch tenners. The last golden tenner was minted in 1933. In recent years, millions have been minted annually. In 1932, more than 4 million gold tenners were minted. This means that many golden tenners no longer represent a collector's value. Still, there are several years that are sought after or even highly sought after. The year 1897 is one of them.

Queen Wilhelmina's golden tenner was minted from 1892 to 1933 in four different versions and editions ranging from a few to many millions. The golden tenner from 1897 is a special example, as only 453,696 copies were minted.

The head of the coin shows the portrait of Wilhelmina, designed by W.J. Schammer, as a girl with long hair hanging down, looking to the left. Above the portrait is the text "GOD BE WITH US", and below it "KONINGIN WILHELMINA". The side of the coin shows the crowned Dutch coat of arms with the mintmaster's mark the halberd, the year 1897 and the mercury staff of the Utrecht mint underneath.
