A scarce mid-century Dutch silver coin from 1959, this 2½ Gulden represents an important piece of Netherlands numismatic history. Featuring classic Dutch heraldic design, this pre-decimal era coin is highly sought by collectors of European silver coinage and vintage currency. The 2½ Gulden denomination was part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands' traditional currency system before the introduction of the Guilder's modern subdivision. A genuine historical artifact for serious coin collectors and those interested in European monetary heritage.
