Netherlands. Wilhelmina. 1 gulden 1916 en 1917 (totaal 2 stuks) (No reserve price)

The Netherlands 1 gulden coins from 1916 and 1917 represent Dutch silver coinage during World War I, a period when the Netherlands maintained neutrality in the conflict. The gulden was the primary monetary unit in the Netherlands, and 1 gulden coins were significant in daily commerce. Coins from these years feature Queen Wilhelmina, who ruled from 1890 to 1948, with her portrait on the obverse and the Dutch coat of arms or a crowned lion on the reverse. The silver content and weight typically followed strict standards, although wartime influenced metal supplies and coin production methods across Europe. These two coins together give a glimpse into Dutch currency under wartime pressures, while also reflecting artistic elements typical of early 20th-century coinage. Collectors value such sets for their historical context and the craftsmanship of silver coins from neutral European countries during wartime.
