What do we pay for a Silver fifty guilders?
Based on the silver rate of this moment, €1.62 per gram of fine material. As of:
| Variant | Fine silver | Total weight | We pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 guilders | 23.125 g | 25 g | €37.52 |
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 silver it contains.
This coin is 925‰ 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.
Not sure whether your coin is genuine? We check weight, diameter, thickness and – if in doubt – the density with X-ray analysis. Non-destructive: your coin stays intact.

Questions about selling Silver fifty guilders
How much silver is in a fifty-guilder piece?
The coin weighs 25 grams and contains 23.125 grams of fine silver, because it is struck at 925, the sterling standard. That makes it the purest of the Dutch silver denominations and the one that returns the most metal for its size at our counter.
Do the original box and certificate matter?
They can help, so bring them if you still have them. Most of these coins were sold in presentation packaging, and a complete set in good condition can interest collectors. Without the box the silver value still stands, and the valuation costs you nothing either way.
Which occasions were these coins struck for?
They mark Dutch anniversaries and royal occasions from 1982 onwards, which is why several different designs turn up at the counter. For the silver value the occasion makes no difference: every one of them is 925 fine, so we weigh rather than sort by subject.
What identification do you accept?
A passport, a Dutch identity card or a driving licence, as long as it is valid. We are legally required to record who we buy precious metal from, so the details are noted before payment. A copy or a photograph on your phone is not sufficient for this.
How quickly is a larger amount settled?
By bank transfer, in your account within 24 hours. Cash is available at the counter for smaller sums and is paid out the moment you accept. Either way the offer is calculated and explained in front of you, and walking away costs you nothing at all.
