Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Florins - Beatrix (Specimen) 2002 from Aruba (Netherlands) made of Nickel plated steel weighing 8.25g is that it features a unique design that was never officially released into circulation. The coin was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a trial or sample coin and not intended for general circulation. This makes it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
