Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Gulden - Willem I (Countermark) 1840 coin from Indonesia › Netherlands East Indies (1601-1949) is that it was minted during a time when the Netherlands was facing economic challenges, and the government decided to introduce a new currency system to address these issues. The 10 Gulden coin was part of this new system, and it was designed to be a more stable and reliable currency than the previous system. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a deliberate choice to ensure its value and stability.
