Netherlands 10 Euro 2017 William Alexander Twosides Coloured

King Willem Alexander was born on April 27, 1967. In the year 2017 he celebrates his 50th birthday and in order to commemorate this a special 10 Euro coin has been issued. Normally commemorative coins have a nominal value of 5 Euro, however, if a coin has a Royal theme the nominal value is higher. In this case the nominal value is 10 Euro. Both on the image side and the value side of the coin are unique, interlocking and overlapping ribbons. These ribbons are coloured orange on the Royal side that flow into the red, white and blue National Colours of the Netherlands on the value side of the coin. The connection is further expressed in the shape of the sailorÆs knot in the centre of the coin. On the image side is the stately face of King Willem Alexander. The face of King Willem Alexander is coloured in a special way. On the edge of the coin you can see the text Willem Alexander 50 Years and King of the Netherlands. On the value side of the coin we see the key words Represent, Unite and Encourage. At the botto m of the coin is the value of 10 Euro and on the right of the coin the year 2017 is shown in small text. The special feature of this two-sided coin is that only the face of King Willem Alexander and the ribbons are coloured. The texts and numbers are not coloured.
