Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2½ Gulden Willem III coin from the Netherlands is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in the country. Willem III, who ruled from 1849 to 1874, was the last king of the Netherlands before the country became a republic.

Despite these changes, the coin remains a symbol of the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
