Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Gulden - Wilhelmina (Pattern) 1891 from Netherlands made of Silver weighing 4.51g is that it was designed by Dutch artist and engraver, Joseph Mendes da Costa. He was known for his work on various coins and medals, and this particular design features a portrait of Queen Wilhelmina on the obverse side, with a depiction of a Dutch lion on the reverse side. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
