The Kingdom of the Netherlands came into being in 1815 following the defeat of Napoleon. It readopted the guilder as its primary unit of currency.
In 1817, the guilder was decimalized and the first coins issued, a copper 1 cent (KM-47) and a silver 3 guilders (KM-40). The remaining denominations were introduced in 1818. These included a 10 cents (KM-53).
