| Description : The second double portrait after the commemorative coin minted
in 2013 to announce the change of throne was also designed by Pannos Goutzemisis. This coin shows King
Willhelm‐Alexander, in the foreground looking to the right, in front of his mother and predecessor Beatrix. Around the
outside of the motif are the names "WILLEM‐ALEXANDER KONING DER NEDERLANDEN" (Willem‐Alexander King of the
Netherlands), a crown and "BEATRIX PRINSES DER NEDERLANDEN" (Beatrix Princess of the Netherlands). At the bottom of the
motif is the date "2014" and to the left of it is the sails of the three‐mast clipper Nederland, the logo of the
mint master Maarten Brouwer and on the right the staff of Hermes, the mint mark of the Royal Dutch mint
Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt in Utrecht. The Royal Dutch Mint supplied 2000 sets in the proof production
process version with coins where the crown is coloured white, red and blue
(see picture). |
