Interesting fact
The Juliana coin was designed by Dutch artist and sculptor, Jo Uiterwaal, and was minted in 1950 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. The coin features a portrait of Queen Juliana on the obverse and a depiction of a Dutch lion on the reverse. The use of brass as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to create a distinctive and eye-catching design, and the coin's relatively low weight of 3.94g makes it a unique and interesting collector's item.
