| Additional information |
The "Philips II Ryal" in this coin's name refers to the large silver cob coinage — reales — produced in Spanish colonial mints in the Americas during the reign of Philip II of Spain, whose empire encompassed the Caribbean territories that would eventually become the Netherlands Antilles. The Netherlands Antilles issued a series of these commemorative 10 Gulden pieces pairing Queen Beatrix with historical coinage types that had genuine monetary circulation in the region centuries prior.
KM#62 is part of a longer collector-oriented silver program from the Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen, which used .925 silver at one troy ounce — a deliberate alignment with the international bullion coin market rather than any domestic monetary need.
