The standard 2 euro coin of the Netherlands features a portrait of King Beatrix, reflecting the nation's constitutional monarchy and its enduring royal traditions. Designed by Bruno Ninaber van Eyben, the obverse displays the profile of the monarch facing left, encircled by the twelve stars of the European Union. Interspersed among these stars is the inscription 'Beatrix Koningin der Nederlanden', which translates to 'Beatrix Queen of the Netherlands', alongside the year of issue. This design serves as the definitive national side for Dutch euro coinage, symbolising the continuity of the House of Orange-Nassau within the modern European framework. The coin is issued in a standard circulation format. The mintage for this 2011 issue is 200,000 pieces.
