Netherlands. Wilhelmina. 1 Gulden 1897 NGC slab misslag dubbelslag (No reserve price)

The 1897 Netherlands 1 Gulden coin featuring Queen Wilhelmina is a notable piece from Dutch numismatic history. Queen Wilhelmina reigned from 1890 to 1948, and her portrait adorned the nation's coinage during much of that period. The 1 Gulden coin was a widely circulated denomination in the Dutch currency system, equivalent to 100 cents. This particular coin is remarkable due to its 'misslag dubbelslag', meaning it has a double strike error, which is a striking rarity among collectors. Such minting errors occur when a coin is struck more than once by the die, creating a doubled design impression that makes these coins intriguing both visually and historically. The introduction of the NGC slab indicates that it has been professionally graded and encapsulated to preserve its condition and authenticity, adding to its appeal for collectors of error coins and Dutch currency alike.
