The Netherlands 2010 standard 2 euro coin features the traditional national design that has remained a cornerstone of the country's currency since the introduction of the euro. On the obverse, the coin displays a portrait of Queen Beatrix, facing left, encircled by the twelve stars of the European Union. The inscription 'Beatrix Koningin der Nederlanden' surrounds the monarch’s profile, reflecting the constitutional role of the monarchy in Dutch society and history. This design serves as a consistent symbol of the nation's identity within the eurozone, maintaining a visual link to the royal lineage that has defined the Netherlands for generations. The reverse side follows the common European map design used across the continent. This standard issue coin was produced in 2010 with a mintage of 100,000 pieces.
