Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Gulden - Willem III 1876-1889 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 1876, just a year after the Netherlands had adopted the Gold Standard, which pegged the value of the Dutch gulden to the value of gold. This move was made in an effort to stabilize the Dutch economy, which had been struggling with inflation and financial instability in the years leading up to the introduction of the Gold Standard. Despite these challenges, the 10 Gulden - Willem III coin remained in circulation until 1889, when it was replaced by a new coin with a different design.
