Dutch Tenner Coin Pendant: Wilhelmina Replica (Gouden Tientje)

A piece of history - recreated to be worn. This pendant is an exact replica of the Dutch Gouden Tientje, the iconic ten-guilder coin once used in everyday life and later treasured as a keepsake. Over time, many women had their coins set in decorative bezels to wear them as jewelry - each design a little different, each one personal. Every detail is preserved - from Queen Wilhelmina’s portrait to the fine edge detailing - capturing the look and feel of the original coin. The only difference? The year. It features the date of her 1898 inauguration - when she turned 18 and officially became Queen of the Netherlands after years under her mother’s regency. She had already taken the throne at just 10, after her father’s passing. A subtle detail that connects this pendant to a powerful moment in history. For me, this one is personal. It’s inspired by an original coin I received from my mom. Today, it connects three generations - our second daughter’s middle name, Mina, is a nod to Wilhelmina and to her grandmother. Although it’s known as the Gouden Tientje (the golden tenner), we offer it in both gold and silver - so you can style it your way. One pendant. A story that stays with you.
