Netherlands 1871 2-5 gulden rev AH.jpg

The specimen shown is a late date of a type struck at the Utrecht mint for the Netherlands 1849-74. Most of the dates are common. 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: 6,875,035.

Specification: 25 g, 0.945 fine silver, .760 troy oz ASW, 38 mm diameter, edge lettered ★ GOD ★ ZY ★ MET ★ ONS.

Catalog reference: KM 82, Dav-236, Sch-597.
