They are 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter  The Goldgulden (“Guilder” is the English translation of the Dutch word “gulden.”) contains 13.2 grams of .999 gold and is limited to an issue of 100,000 pieces. Cal for pricing information and availability. The Silver Gulden is .925 fine, weighs 7.1 grams and has a mintage limit of 200,000 pieces.
