Netherlands 10 Guilder gold coins are an excellent choice for gold investors and coin collectors alike, offering true scarcity, historical importance, and classic European beauty at common gold coin prices.
Slightly larger in size and gold content then the popular
French gold 20 franc “Lucky Angel” but far more scarce, Dutch gold 10 guilder “Kings” are an excellent value in today’s market. These scarce, classic European gold coins were minted before 1900, yet they're trading now at prices very near to their gold melt value.
We strongly recommend these Dutch 10 guilders as an alternative to modern gold bullion coins for gold investors seeking that extra leverage to the gold market that only scarce, classic gold coins provide.
The Enlightened Monarch
Featuring the portrait William III, King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg from 1849 to 1890, these unusual European gold coins are also a favorite among history buffs. Son and successor of William II and grandson of William I, the first King of the Netherlands following the Napoleonic occupation, William III was widely admired during his time as an enlightened constitutional monarch who guided his nation through many progressive reforms.
Working closely with Jan Thorbecke, the leading Dutch statesman during his reign, William III obtained full emancipation of the Dutch Catholics, extended the electorate, and initiated the construction of canals for reclaiming land from the sea. He also granted a parliamentary constitution to his Luxembourg subjects and maintained Luxembourg’s neutrality in the Franco-Prussian War (1870–71). Because of his openness to reform, William’s long reign was largely free of the friction with the parliamentary States-General that had plagued both his father and grandfather, resulting in the latter’s abdication in 1840.
William’s death in 1890 ended the male Dutch line of the house of Orange-Nassau. The Netherlands crown passed to his daughter, Wilhelmina, but Luxembourg went to Duke Adolph of Nassau, from a collateral line of the family.
We are very pleased to offer this small cache of King William III Dutch 10 Guilder gold coins in scarce Brilliant Uncirculated condition. While supplies last!

Increase your core gold holdings
with scarce, low-priced European gold!
Our Dutch 10 Guilder “Kings” are an excellent investment.
Here’s why:
- Extraordinary scarcity. In choice Brilliant Uncirculated condition, William III Netherlands 10 guilder “Kings” are substantially scarcer than most other European gold coins including our popular French 20 franc “Angels.” Struck only from 1875 to 1889, they have tiny original mintages: only 7.8 million were made, all years combined, and most have been lost to circulation and melting. Such scarcity usually means faster appreciation in a rising gold market.
- Double profit potential. Modern bullion coins like Krugerrands, American Gold Eagles, and Canadian Maple Leafs increase in value only as gold increases in price. Naturally, as gold prices rise, Netherlands 10 guilders also increase in value. But unlike bullion, these coins offer an additional premium based upon their limited numbers and status as scarce collectable coins. Collector demand for these classic European gold coins drives their value up at a higher rate than bullion alone, and can even increase their value in a falling gold market.
- Low price and limited availability. Few investors are aware of these classic European gold coins, so their prices remain unusually low. Trading today near their bullion value, Netherlands 10 guilder “Kings” are a bargain. In fact, even at these low prices, we’re lucky to be able to offer these classic 19th Century gold coins at all. Normally when we go to the European market to buy classic gold coins we cannot find any brillian uncirculated whatsoever! Once these are gone, it may be quite some time before we are able to offer these lovely, scarce gold coins again, if ever.
- Excellent international liquidity. Immensely popular among European collectors and investors, these coins have a large, ready market overseas as well as here in the United States.
- Complete financial privacy. Unlike some modern bullion pieces, which must be reported to the IRS by brokers, there are no reporting requirements for these classic Dutch gold coins.
- Exemption from confiscation. As collector coins of historical significance, Netherlands 10 guider “Kings” are not subject to any U.S.confiscation law. Bullion coins like Krugerrands, American Gold Eagles, and Canadian Maple Leafs, however, may be seized under current U.S. laws.
- Ease of transportation and storage. Unlike gold bars, they smaller size of these coins means they may be easily transported and privately stored in case of hardship.
