Not sure about its weight (maybe 8-10g). Is it rare, what about its value? What catalogue should I search for details about it? Thank you very much for any help, Jenny Report this Post to the Staff

Kingz Pillar of the Community Netherlands 626 Posts	Posted 01/22/2011 2:09 pm well it's not really a coin I guess but a memorial token or something. This one is also not in the latest all round catalogue of 2011 from The Netherlands, so can't really help you with that now. I have to go now, but I will try and ask for you on a Dutch coin forum!

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 01/22/2011 7:02 pm As Kingz wrote, this is not a coin. The person :) depicted is Willem Alexander, and the date on the other side is when he was born. He will be the next king of the Netherlands, by the way. Don't know how much it might be worth though. Now the shape - square with rounded corners - does remind of older Dutch coins. For example, the 5 cent piece had that shape between 1913 and 1940. Christian Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 01/22/2011 8:06 pm I agree, it is not a coin, but the planchet may be based on an NCLT gold coin. If that is the case, it may have the same planchet specs. as the Netherlands Antilles 300 Gulden. Weight 5.04 grammes, .900 fine, .1458 AGW. I have a square coin collection of about 90 different types and included is the coin mentioned here. It is the only NCLT coin in this part of my collection. Report this Post to the Staff
svslav Pillar of the Community United States 2605 Posts	Posted 01/22/2011 8:28 pm About the shape. I (used to) have same shape, square or, in "American", diamond - when it is oriented from corner to the opposite corner, commemorative medal of reign jubilee (60th I think?)of Franz Josef II of Austro-Hungary. Somewhat similar in design, much older bloke though. I didn't bring it along around half-world, hopefully my parents still have it. Report this Post to the Staff
jenny joy New Member Slovenia 2 Posts	Posted 01/23/2011 08:02 am Thank you all for your very interesting answers; I'll check the exact weight of it next week and purity (though I'm almost positive its 24K). So, I hope someone will find or know its approx. value (as you see I'm not a collector and have no experience). Thanks one more time for your help. Report this Post to the Staff
