Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Gulden - Willem II 1841-1849 coin from the Netherlands is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. King Willem II, who ruled from 1840 to 1849, was instrumental in implementing a number of reforms, including the abolition of slavery in the Dutch colonies and the introduction of a constitutional monarchy. Despite these efforts, the coin's mintage was cut short due to the king's untimely death in 1849. As a result, coins from this era have become highly sought after by collectors, making them a valuable and interesting addition to any collection.
