Hi, I got this 1 gulden from the Netherlands. Now, there seem to be a couple of types, distinguished by the thickness of the font 'GULDEN', the distance of the numerals '1' from the bottom, and the width of the '1'. Which one is this?
I included a picture from an earlier Stamp Community discussion (3/23/2015) for guidance.

Could it be you forgot to post your example?

The top one has the "1" in the value tablet set lower than the bottom one.
The top one has a more slender "GULDEN" that is similar to the type used for "KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN."
The bottom one has a bolder "GULDEN" unlike the type used for "KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN."

The top one is the "Kroningsgulden" issued in 1898 to commemorate the inauguration of Queen Wilhelmina. The bottom one is part of the 1899 definitives set and comes with different perforation gauges.

Yes, here is my stamp, sorry something's gone wrong - I thought it picked it up but it was too big. I reduced resolution a bit.

1899,definitive issue with high setting of numeral and bold typeface of "GULDEN;" i.e., the bottom one in the earlier picture. Compare the bold typeface of "GULDEN" at bottom and thin typeface of "KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN" at top.

Check the perforation gauge.
