on Netherlands 10 cents 1948 Km 177. Is this coin the "mule" for this coin.[ Yes it is the mule] [solved]

Iam thinking this is the mule for this coin. Anyone else want to put there 2 cents in


I go back an forth on it. Now I don't think it is. So I put up here to get some help. Thank you daryl

sorry old fart not getting the link to work

Hi Daryl,

I think you may be onto something here. If you measure the distance between the legs of the A of your coin, it matches the gap between the bottom of the A and K. If you do the same measurement on the standard 1948 NL 10c coin, the gap between the bottom of the A and K is bigger than the distance between the legs of the A. So in my opinion your coins satisfies the characteristic where the A & K are closer to each other on the mule.

​Looks like the mule to me too. I focused on the A & K along with the pearls.

The one on the right is the one I think is the mule. The A and K are closer

Thank you all for your help. Yes it is the mule

Hi all,

As far as I know there is also some difference between the pearls on both coins.
Oval and round(er) shaped maybe?
In these coins they used the obverse of a dutch coin and the reverse of a coin
meant for the islands Curacao and/or Aruba.

Some 7 years ago, I learned about the existence of these mules. With my hand full of 1948 10ct coins, I loosely figured out that these mules are quite common, like 25-30% of the entire mintage.
