Dutch coin 1863

4 posts
Hello.
Can I have some ideas of value of a Dutch coin     21/2   or 2.5 Guilders dated 1863

unusually  ?  It is quite brown in colour, not silver as described in most sites I viewed

It has the head of William 3rd and the coat of arms on the obverse

edge inscription   G O D   Z Y   M L T  STAR

CHEERS,
Barry

I assume you mean netherlands, and silver can tarnish or get covered in gunk like other coins. If its real ngc says 1250usd in vf. Condition, here is link

the Edge should say GOD ZY MET ONS
There are lots of fakes from the 2 1/2 Guldens from 1840, 1863 and 1898. So watch out. And yes, on the edge it should say:

* GOD * ZY * MET * ONS ●
