What do we pay for a Gold tientje (10 guilders)?
Based on the gold rate of this moment, €113.05 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine gold | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 guilders | 6.048 g | 6.72 g | €683.73 |
This price applies regardless of the year and the mint. With a rare year or exceptional condition the collector’s value can be higher than the material value – then we say so, even if that means you are better off not selling us the coin.
How we arrive at this amount
A coin is precious metal in a recognisable shape. What it fetches therefore depends almost entirely on the fine weight: the weight of pure gold it contains.
This coin is 900‰ (21.6 carat) pure. The rest of the alloy – usually copper – makes it harder and scratch-resistant, but has no value. That is why we calculate on the fine weight and not on what the scales say.

Questions about selling Gold tientje (10 guilders)
How much gold is in a tientje?
A ten-guilder piece weighs 6.72 grams in total and contains 6.048 grams of pure gold, the rest being copper in the alloy. We settle on that fine weight against the gold rate of the moment, so the copper adds nothing to the price.
Does the head on the coin matter?
Usually not for the price. Willem III, Wilhelmina and Juliana tientjes all hold the same amount of gold. A few scarce years and the earliest Willem III issues can carry a collector’s value above the gold, and we check the year for you.
I have a whole roll of tientjes, what now?
Do let us know in advance if you are bringing a larger number. We then make sure enough liquidity is ready and can fix the gold rate for an agreed period, so you are not dependent on the exact moment you walk in.
Should I have the coins cleaned first?
No, please leave them as they are. A natural patina belongs on an older Dutch gold coin, and cleaning can leave scratches that reduce any collector’s value. For the gold value the appearance makes no difference whatsoever.
