Historical Significance

Commonly known as a 'Rijksdaalder', this coin was part of the standard post-WWII currency under Queen Juliana's reign. In 1967, the composition switched from silver to nickel due to rising silver prices, making this 1969 issue a common circulation piece of that era.

$1.00 - $3.00 USD (depending on condition)

Care Instructions

Store in a cool, dry place away from humidity. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving fingerprints. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals or metal polishes, as this can permanently damage the coin's numismatic value.
