Overview

Historical significance

This coin belongs to the first series of Dutch Euro coins designed by Bruno Ninaber van Eyben. Although the Euro was officially introduced in 2002, production and minting of coins began in 1999, which is why this coin bears that date.

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place to prevent oxidation of the copper plating. Handle by the edges to avoid leaving oils from skin on the surface. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals as this can damage the numismatic value.
