The 10 Gulden was the Netherlands' circulating gold coin, struck in 90% gold with Queen Wilhelmina on the obverse and the crowned Dutch coat of arms on the reverse. Like the Swiss 20 Francs and the French Rooster, it is European fractional gold that traded as money rather than as a bullion product.
That history is the appeal: circulated European gold usually carries a lower premium over spot than a modern bullion coin, because it prices on metal rather than brand. The trade-offs are size and liquidity — a fifth of an ounce per coin, and a format less instantly recognized than a Gold Eagle. Buy these for cheap ounces, not for the easiest resale.

Utah exempts investment-grade precious metals from sales tax, so no sales tax is added to bullion orders like this one. Tax treatment in other states varies, and any applicable tax is calculated at checkout.
0.1947 troy ounces of pure gold — about 6.05 grams. The coin weighs 6.729 grams gross at 90% fineness, with the remaining 10% copper for durability. Roughly five of them make a troy ounce of gold.
The obverse carries Queen Wilhelmina with the KONINGIN WILHELMINA and GOD ZIJ MET ONS legends — “God be with us”. The reverse shows the crowned Dutch coat of arms with its rampant lion, the KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN legend, and the 10 G denomination.
Random year, our choice, from current inventory. The 10 Gulden was struck across several decades under Willem III and Wilhelmina, and all of them carry the same gold content, which is what keeps the premium low. If you need a specific date, call or text before ordering.
These coins circulated as money, so expect honest wear: softened high points, light scratches, and handling marks. None of that changes the gold content, and these are priced for the metal rather than as graded collectibles. If you want uncirculated surfaces, a modern bullion coin is the better buy.
Price. Circulated European fractional gold often carries a lower premium over spot than a modern one-ounce bullion coin, because it trades on gold content rather than brand recognition. The trade-off is that the fractional size and the older format make it a little less liquid than a Gold Eagle or Maple Leaf.
No. At 90% fineness it falls short of the IRS minimum of .995 for gold in a self-directed IRA. If you are buying gold for an IRA, look at American Gold Eagles, Gold Buffalos, or Gold Maple Leafs and confirm the specifics with your custodian.
Gold content, mostly. Common dates in circulated condition trade close to their melt value plus a modest premium. Scarce dates and high-grade examples can bring more, but these are sold as bullion-grade coins rather than for date or condition rarity.
