Pattern of KM# 305Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ¼ Gulden - Willem III 1885 from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) made of Gold (.585) weighing 6 g is that it was designed by the Dutch artist and engraver, Joseph Ferdinand Helman. Helman was known for his work on various coins and banknotes, and his design for this coin features a portrait of King Willem III on one side and an image of a Dutch East Indies landscape on the other. The coin was minted in 1885 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
