This specimen was lot 34562 in Heritage sale 3082 (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $1,440. The catalog description[1] noted, "Netherlands: Willem II 2-1/2 Gulden 1842 MS62+ NGC." This is a better date of a type struck 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 It superseded the three gulden of 1817-32.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.

Specification: 25 g, 0.945 fine silver, 38 mm diameter, edge lettered ★ GOD ★ ZY ★ MET ★ ONS.
