This specimen was lot 1572 in Ponterio sale 173 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $294. The catalog description[1] noted, "NETHERLANDS. 2 1/2 Gulden, 1844. NGC AU-50. Toned." This is a better date of a type struck 1843-49. 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 It superseded the three gulden of 1817-32.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 .945 fine alloy seems to be unique to the Netherlands.
Recorded mintage: 278,534.
Specification: 25 g, .945 fine silver, 38 mm diameter, edge lettered GOD * ZY * MET * ONS *.
Catalog reference: KM 69, Dav-235, Sch-509.
