10 Dutch guilders - Golden guilder
The golden 10 guilders coin was first introduced in 1808 by Louis Napoleon during French rule in the Netherlands. The first 10 guilders were slightly heavier than the later issues, and were purified by higher purity: 6,83 grams with a pure gold content of 6,25 grams (22 carats).
After French rule, King Willem I came to power and thus the Dutch 10 guilders received his final form in 1818. Golden 10 guilders would weigh 6,73 grams from a pure gold content of 6,05 grams (21,6 carats) and were produced untill 1933 under the ruling periods of three kings and one queen: Willem I, Willem II, Willem III and Wilhelmina. Until 1830 some variants were still minted in Brussels. From the independence of Belgium, the 10 guilders were struck near Utrecht.
