Belgium World's Fair 50 Francs

In 1958 Belgium held a World’s Fair. To celebrate the event, the Mint in Belgium issued a special silver commemorative coin. You have the head of King Baudouin on one side and a view of Brussels, the World’s Fair Logo and the denomination 50 Francs on the other side. This is an early commemorative coin and one that many collectors are looking for. It is struck in 835 fine Silver and is in Uncirculated condition. This year it is 60 years old, happy birthday! In the past we had one coin at a time, but they quickly sold out. A most interesting commemorative.

NETHERLANDS 2 1/2 GULDEN 1959-1966 Extremely Fine

The creation of a unified monetary system in the Netherlands in the early 18th century saw the introduction of the guilder or gulden. Thanks to similarities in size and quality, old ducats and “rijksdaalder” became 2½ guilders. The coin was routinely nicknamed a rijksdaalder right up to the introduction of the euro in 2002. We have a number of these coins issued in silver between 1959 and 1966 and in Extremely Fine condition. These were the last of the denominations to be struck in silver before being replaced by nickel.
