Netherlands, Half Guilder 1858.  The story behind is on the obverse, where next to King William III the lettering is translated as: King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxemburg. The two countries indeed shared the same Monarch (but not the same currency any longer). This dual monarchy was to end after King William III passed away. He left behind his young widow Emma and his only surviving child, later Queen Wilhelmina (still minor). Luxemburg had adopted the Salic law which prohibited transmitting the Grand Ducal Crown to a woman. Adolphe, a distant relative of the late King William III, was crowned next Grand Duke.
