Product Description

We have available from stock the 2016 Netherlands BU set. The 2016 Dutch BU set is the fifth BU set from the series of five, issued from 2012 to 2016. The subject of this 5-year series is the Dutch World Heritage. The theme of the 2016 BU set is Scientific Heritage in the Netherlands, with the specific designation of land reclaim in the Netherlands. The Netherlands is in the forefront of drying lakes, open waters and even part of a sea û the Zuiderzee. In respect of surface-area almost all reclaimed land areas in Europe are in the Netherlands. The first land reclaim dates from the beginning of the year 1600. These were conducted by Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater. The special of this BU set is that the mint-master's mark is supplemented by a star. Mint master Maarten Brouwer had as his mark æcruising sailsÆ. Mr. Kees Bruinsma is now acting mint-master and as long as there is an acting mint-master the star is shown to the left above the mint-master mark. On the 2016 Dutch coins the Mint-master mark is "cruising sails". The quality of the coins in this set is BU (Brilliant Uncirculated). The coins are handled with the utmost possible care, and are struck with new coin stamps.
