Got this coin as part of a gift from my grandfather. I'd like to keep it, but I'm curious what value this coin has more or less. Thank you!

This is a 10 gulden piece of The Netherlands from 1932. On the obverse we see the head of Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, facing to the right. Wilhelmina reigned the Netherlands from September 6 1898 until September 6 1948 (exactly 50 years and the longest reigning Queen of the Netherlands). Around the head the text "Queen Wilhelmina - God be with us". On the obverse, you see the dutch crowned heraldic weapon with the text "Kingdom of the Netherlands". Left of the date you find a sea horse, mint master sign for C. HOitsema, mint master at the Dutch Mint at Utrecht from 1909 to 1933. On the right you will see the Mercury Staff which is the mint sign for the DUtch Mint in Utrecht.


This piece should weigh 6.72 g of 90% pure gold, leading to a pure weight of 6.048 grams or 211 euro. Its edege is reeded.
This piece was struck from 1925 to 1933, but the year 1932 the mintage was at its peak: 4,323,952 pieces.
Although this piece is in a quite good quality, I do not think you will get more than the melting value when you try to sell this.

Beautiful coin from a lovely country! I have a small quantity of Dutch Gulden, but no gold.

The Netherlands was one of the last European countries still on the gold standard in the early 1930's. As Jupke pointed out, these 10 gulden coins were minted until 1933.
As a neutral safe harbour during WW II, Switzerland coined gold 20 Francs till 1949.
