Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Gulden - Willem I 1826-1827 coin from the Netherlands is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country's monetary system. The coin was introduced in 1826, just a year after the Netherlands had adopted the Gold Standard, which meant that the value of the currency was pegged to the value of gold. This move away from silver-based currency was a significant shift for the Netherlands and marked a turning point in the country's economic history. The 5 Gulden coin, made of .900 gold and weighing 3.36 grams, was a key part of this new monetary system and was used widely in everyday transactions.
