Comment
Released in Year Sets only in 2010, 2011 & 2012 these 50 cent coins were all struck by the Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a non-magnetic material, which is unusual for coins. Most coins are made of metals that are magnetic, such as iron or nickel, but this coin was made of copper-nickel, which is not magnetic. This was done intentionally to create a unique feature for the coin and to differentiate it from other coins in circulation.
