A question on Netherland gold

izzy452

I have a 1875 Netherland gold 10 G. On the obverse there is King Willem. My question is is it Willem I or II or what ?

Thanks

William III, ruled 1849-1890, the 10 Guilders from 1888 considered rare.

Thanks for the info, where can I pick up a book like that .

Mine came from a second hand bookshop, you can sometimes find some great books on coins in them.

The new edition, the 7th can be obtained from Krause Publications

or sometimes on eBay like here

The new edition might be better, but I found the information a little sparse in the 5th edition, probably because of the huge range it covers.

Thanks again.
