The 2013 Netherlands 2 euro commemorative coin marks the bicentenary of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, celebrating the establishment of the monarchy in 1813. The national side of the coin features a stylized design depicting the profiles of King Willem-Alexander and his predecessor, Queen Beatrix, who abdicated in the same year. Their overlapping silhouettes symbolise the transition of power and the continuity of the Dutch royal lineage across two centuries of history. Encircling the royal portraits are the names of the monarchs, the commemorative theme, and the year of issue, reflecting the nation's constitutional evolution since the departure of French forces and the subsequent proclamation of the sovereign principality. This commemorative issue was produced with a mintage of 3,500,000 coins in 2013.
