The standard issue 2 euro coin of 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 view of the monarch is accompanied by the inscription 'Willem-Alexander Koning der Nederlanden' along the left edge, with the year of issue positioned to the right. Twelve stars representing the European Union encircle the design, reflecting the nation's integration within the eurozone. This portrait serves as the definitive national side for Dutch euro coinage, maintaining a consistent regal presence that links contemporary currency to the constitutional monarchy of the Netherlands. The coin is available as a standard circulation issue from 2022 with a mintage of 15,000 pieces.
