Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden - Willem I 1818-1830 coin from the Netherlands is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced in 1818, just a year after the Netherlands had regained its independence from France, and it was minted until 1830, when King Willem I abdicated and was succeeded by his son, King Willem II.

For example, the coin features an image of King Willem I on one side and a depiction of a lion on the other, which symbolizes the country's strength and resilience during this period. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time, and its weight and purity were carefully regulated by the Dutch government to ensure its authenticity and value. Overall, the ½ Gulden - Willem I 1818-1830 coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides a glimpse into the Netherlands' rich cultural and economic heritage.
