The standard 2 euro coin from the Netherlands features a portrait of King Willem-Alexander, who ascended to the throne in 2013 following the abdication of his mother, Queen Beatrix. Designed by Erwin Olaf, the profile captures the monarch facing right, surrounded by the twelve stars of the European Union. This design reflects the continuity of the Dutch monarchy and its role as a unifying symbol within the nation. The inscription surrounding the portrait includes the name of the King and the title of the monarch in Dutch, affirming the sovereign identity of the state. As a standard circulation piece, the coin maintains the consistent national design used across all Dutch euro denominations. This coin was issued in 2021 with a mintage of 17,500 pieces.
