1874 Willem III Netherland 2 1/2 Gulden NGC UNC Detail - LOOKS FRESH & ORIGINAL

Description: This magnificent Crown Sized coin from the Netherlands looks completely original with frosty luster. I simply am bewildered as to where NGC sees the cleaning on the reverse of this piece! It has the look of a frosty original specimen and is a strong candidate for resubmission to the grading service! Great Value here! Willem III, also known as William III, was King of the Netherlands and Grand Duke of Luxembourg from 1849 until his death in 1890. He was born Willem Alexander Paul Frederik Lodewijk on February 19, 1817, in Brussels, which was then part of the United Kingdom of the Netherlands. Key points about Willem III of the Netherlands: Ascension to the Throne: Willem III became king in 1849, succeeding his father, Willem II, who had abdicated the throne. Willem III's reign coincided with a period of political and social change in Europe. Marriage and Heirs: Willem III married his first cousin Sophie of Württemberg in 1839, and they had three sons. However, all of their sons died in infancy, leading to a dynastic crisis and concerns about the succession. Luxembourg Crisis: The Luxembourg Crisis of the 1860s was a significant event during Willem III's reign. The Treaty of London in 1867 settled the matter, confirming the personal union between the Netherlands and Luxembourg while establishing Luxembourg's independence. Role in Politics: Willem III was known for his conservative political views and often clashed with the liberal parliamentary forces in the Netherlands. His influence in politics was limited by the constitutional changes that reduced the monarch's power. End of Monarchy in Luxembourg: The personal union between the Netherlands and Luxembourg continued until 1890. However, after Willem III's death, the Nassau-Weilburg family succeeded to the throne of Luxembourg, marking the end of the personal union. Death: King Willem III died on November 23, 1890, and he was succeeded by his daughter Wilhelmina, who became Queen of the Netherlands. Legacy: Willem III's reign was marked by political tensions, and he was sometimes at odds with the Dutch parliament. Despite the challenges, his daughter Wilhelmina would go on to become one of the longest-reigning monarchs in Dutch history. Willem III is remembered as a monarch who faced political challenges during a period of significant change in Europe. The political landscape in the Netherlands evolved, and the constitutional reforms that diminished the power of the monarchy set the stage for the modern constitutional monarchy in the country.
