Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique colorized design, with the portrait of King Willem-Alexander in gold, surrounded by a blue ring with white stars, and a red ring with white stars on the outer edge. This colorized design is achieved through a process called "pad printing," which involves applying a layer of colored ink to the coin's surface using a silicone pad. This process allows for intricate and detailed designs, and gives the coin a distinctive and eye-catching appearance.
