Recently Picked up this Dutch coin 1869 2 1/2 G Willem III Koning. It is in VG condition.
Does anyone know the silver content and possibly a little history?
I paid $19.50 ???????
It looks just like the one on this website.

Thanks in Advance

Since its about the same silver as a US Dollar, I'd say you got a good price at $19.50. Cool coin!
