This specimen was lot 1826 in Jean Elsen sale 144 (Brussels, March 2020), where it sold for €26,000 (about US$34,256 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"NEDERLAND, Koninkrijk, Willem II (1840-1849), AV 20 gulden (dubbele negotiepenning), 1848. Slechts 95 st. geslagen. Uiterst zeldzaam Prachtexemplaar met gepolijste stempels geslagen. bijna Fleur de Coin. (kingdom of the Netherlands, William II, 1840-49, gold twenty gulden of 1848. Only 95 pieces struck, extremely rare, prooflike, about Uncirculated.)"
This gold twenty gulden was struck in such small quantities as to be a pattern. It was accompanied by gold ten gulden (Fr-336) and five golden (Fr-337), also very rare. Subsequent twenty gulden struck during the reign of William III (Fr-339) are also rare but a tiny bit more available.
Recorded mintage: 95.
Specification: 13.45 g, 0.900 fine gold, 27 mm diameter, edge lettered ★ GOD ★ ZY ★ MET ★ ONS.
Catalog reference: KM 79, Fr-335, Sch-499.
