| Additional information |
The Netherlands Antilles never adopted the euro — it remained outside the eurozone as a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands — making this 2004 piece a pattern struck purely for collectors rather than any proposed monetary transition. Similar euro pattern sets were produced for several non-eurozone territories in the early 2000s, largely as numismatic curiosities issued through private or semi-official arrangements rather than central bank mandate.
