Golden tenner William III

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.

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.

Why buy gold at Holland Gold?

Gold offers protection in times of inflation
Gold offers protection in times of inflation
In the long term, gold retains its value, while currencies lose a lot of purchasing power. An example of the value retention of gold is that 2,000 years ago you could buy a tailor-made suit for one gold coin and that is still the case today.
Gold is an insurance against a systemic risk

The gold reserves at central banks act as the backing of a money system. According to DNB, gold is an 'anchor of trust': "If the entire financial system collapses, the gold supply provides collateral to start over."
Gold is a mainstay in the investment portfolio

Gold strengthens the portfolio through its long-term returns and diversification. Its traditional role as a safe haven means that gold is an asset in times of crisis, moving in the opposite direction to the rest of the portfolio.
