The “La Reijne” is a famous tulip from the period of the Dutch Tulipmania.
During that time, people were willing to pay extravagant amounts for tulips, and the prices of tulips were unimaginable.
There were also ‘cheaper’ varieties available for the common man. The “La Reijne”, priced at 300 guilders, would equate to around €4,000 in modern values, though converting historical currency to modern values is complex.
The tulip “La Reijne” is a purple-striped tulip against a golden background. The name means ‘the Queen’, granting her the honor of being the queen among tulips.
The portrait of the “La Reijne”, from the ‘Ninetynine Tulips’ collection, serves as the inspiration for the tulip NFT collections. The theme of the 99 ‘La Reijne’ NFT tulips is ‘queen’.
