The 2013 Netherlands 2 euro commemorative coin features a double portrait of Queen Beatrix and the Prince of Orange, Willem-Alexander, marking a significant transition in the Dutch monarchy. Designed to commemorate the abdication of Queen Beatrix and the subsequent accession of her son, the imagery captures the continuity of the House of Orange-Nassau. The profiles of the outgoing monarch and the future king are depicted in a layered arrangement, symbolising the peaceful transfer of power and the historical evolution of the Dutch state. Surrounding the portraits are the names of the two royals and the year of the event, reinforcing the constitutional importance of this royal succession. This circulation issue was produced in 2013 with a mintage of 20,000,000 coins.
