The Dutch 1 guilder coin struck under the reign of Queen Wilhelmina was a unit of currency in the Netherlands.

As a result of the rising silver price after the First World War, from 1922 onward it was decided that the silver content of most Dutch coins would be lowered. Thus a new design was necessary.

The design of 1 guilder coins has not changed much between 1818 and 1945.

The obverse depicts:

• Portrait of Wilhelmina facing left.
• Title of Wilhelmina: "WILHELMINA KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN"; Wilhelmina, queen of the Netherlands.

The reverse depicts:

• The year of mintage
• Value (1 – G).
• Privy mark (left of the coat of arms), of the director of the Utrecht-mint.
• Mint mark (right of the coat of arms) of the Utrecht-mint.
• The Crowned Dutch coat of arms.
• Country-designation: "MUNT VAN HET KONINGRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN"; Coin of the kingdom of the Netherlands.

The edge: Plain, God be with us ("GOD ZY MET ONS")
