Comment

The reverse was chosen during a design competition in which 55,000 children from the last two years of 3,000 primary schools participated.
The number of coins minted, corresponds to the number of inhabitants of the Netherlands at that time. So a coin for every inhabitant.

Interesting fact

The 1 Gulden - Beatrix (Last Gulden) 2001 coin from the Netherlands features a unique design element: the portrait of Queen Beatrix on the obverse (front side) is surrounded by a ring of small letters that spell out the phrase "WERELD VREDE" (World Peace) in Dutch. This subtle detail adds an extra layer of meaning and symbolism to the coin's commemoration of the Queen's reign.
