Netherlands Coincard 'Loeki de Leeuw'

Netherlands Coincard '50 Years Loeki de Leeuw' (Loeki the Lion). Loeki de Leeuw, conceived by Joop Geesink, was first broadcast on 7th January, 1972. Loeki was originally designed as a mascot for KLM - the Dutch National Airline. Almost 7,000 films were made of Loeki de Leeuw and he could be admired for years in the Efteling - a Dutch theme park. In 2021 Loeki de Leeuw was on television again during the 'Ster' commercials. Loeki de Leeuw was first broadcast 50 years ago which is why The Netherlands has issued a Coincard with this as its subject. The Coincard contains the 50 Cent coin of 2022 and a Token with an image of Loeki de Leeuw on it. On the front of the Coincard is an image of the original fabric, stuffed, Loeki de Leeuw. On the reverse of the coin several comic strips of Loeki de Leeuw are depicted.
