Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the wedding of Prince Willem-Alexander and Princess Maxima of the Netherlands, but it was not issued by the Netherlands itself, but rather by the Democratic Republic of the Congo. This is a unique example of a coin being issued by one country to celebrate an event happening in another country.
