The specimen is the most common of a type struck at the Utrecht mint for the Netherlands 1841-49. Despite the large mintage, this type is priced substantially higher than the succeeding type of William III (KM 82, struck 1849-74). It superseded the three gulden of 1817-32. After the final issue of 1874, no 2½ gulden were issued until 1898. The 0.945 fine alloy seems to be unique to the Netherlands.
Recorded mintage: 3,589,217 with dash, 505,330 without dash, 163,868 with dot on sword.
Specification: 25 g, 0.945 fine silver, .760 troy oz ASW, 38 mm diameter, edge lettered ★ GOD ★ ZY ★ MET ★ ONS.
Catalog reference: KM 69.2, Dav-235, Sch-510, Sch-511.
