Buy gold Dutch coinage
The Netherlands has a rich history when it comes to gold coins that were once used as legal tender. The first golden ten-guilder coin was minted in 1818 during the reign of King William I, and the last one was minted in 1933 (Queen Wilhelmina). In addition, gold five-guilder coins as well as single and double ducats were minted in the Netherlands. All of these coins contain 90% gold. In the past, these coins were collected with a focus on their mint year. Nowadays, their gold value has surpassed their collectible value (with some exceptions), and they are traded with a low premium over the current gold price.
Why buy Dutch gold coins?
When purchasing Dutch gold coins, you have a choice of various coins. Dutch gold coins, such as the gold "tientje" and the gold ducat, have a rich history dating back to the 19th century. These coins were originally used as legal tender and were minted under various kings and queens, including King Willem I, II, III, and Queen Wilhelmina. As a result, these coins carry not only monetary value but also a piece of Dutch history and heritage. For collectors, owning a piece of history is particularly valuable and meaningful. Most of these coins, like the gold "tientje," contain 90% pure gold (21.6 karats).
Dutch gold coins offer investment opportunities for both large and small investors. For example, a gold "tientje" has a relatively low weight (6.72 grams with 6.048 grams of pure gold), making it affordable for investors with different budgets. Additionally, investors can also choose gold "vijfjes" or ducats, depending on their preferences and investment goals.

Since August 4, 1586, the Golden Ducat has been listed in the Dutch Mint Act as a trade coin. Originally from the Republic of Venice, the Golden Ducat was later also minted in the Netherlands. It has always been a strong coin; for centuries, these coins were an important means of payment in international trade. They were highly regarded for their reliable weight and purity.In Scandinavia, Poland, and Russia, they were widely accepted, and they were also frequently used in trade with Asia. Consequently, the Dutch Golden Ducat became one of the world's most important trade coins. The Royal Dutch Mint mints both Single and Double Golden Ducats annually, commissioned by the Ministry of Finance to keep the memory of the Netherlands' rich trading past alive.
Series 'The Dutch Trading History'
The Golden Ducat has remained almost unchanged for nearly 400 years, with only minor adjustments to details. Over time, there have been slight changes in the knight's attire, and the decorations on the reverse side have been subject to changes according to fashion.In 2022, the Royal Dutch Mint launched a new series, 'The Dutch Trading History,' within the Golden Ducats. From 2022 to 2025, a different trade good will be featured on the reverse side of the coin each year. This year, it is a bundle of cinnamon sticks. Cinnamon was one of the spices the Dutch East India Company (VOC) was keen on, as it was produced in a single region and was very popular in various countries. After expelling the Portuguese from Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), the VOC held control over the cinnamon trade for many years.
