totty Valued Member Australia 77 Posts	Posted 11/18/2021 12:46 am Hi everyone, I have this old Dutch piece of exonumia that I can't seem to properly identify. There are some that look similar but I haven't found any identical pieces in my research. It appears to be commemorating the coronation of Queen Wilhelmina, so if that's correct it would be dated around 1890. Weight: 6.04g Diameter: 27mm Thanks for any help! Report this Post to the Staff

Does this one have an area along the edge where it looks like a loop was removed?

It is quite difficult to photograph though. Report this Post to the Staff
