| Additional information |
Willem-Alexander's accession in April 2013 triggered a mandatory recoinage across all Dutch euro denominations, replacing his mother Beatrix's effigy — a straightforward dynastic update required under Dutch law whenever the head of state changes. The "2nd map" designation refers to the revised eurozone map introduced across all member states' coinage from 2007 onward, incorporating Bulgaria, Romania, and the outline adjustments that followed EU enlargement.
The Netherlands was among the slower member states to fully transition its circulating stock to the new monarch's portrait, with Beatrix-era coins remaining legal tender and common in circulation well into the mid-2010s.
