| Additional information |
Pattern coinage from the Royal Dutch Mint rarely surfaces in dealer inventories, and this bronze gulden trial from 1962 is no exception. The Juliana-era monetary system was under periodic review during the early 1960s as the Netherlands weighed composition changes against rising metal costs — bronze trials like this one likely emerged from internal testing rather than any public tender or announced reform.
KM# Pn1 is the sole pattern reference for this type, suggesting extremely limited production.
