| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized silhouette effigy of Queen Beatrix facing left, set against an intricately engraved background depicting a global cartographic grid of intersecting lines evoking historical world maps. The queen's portrait is rendered as a dark, unadorned profile bust occupying the lower center of the field. The circumferential legend reads BEATRIX KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN, arranged in a rectangular block to the right of the effigy. The overall design alludes to the Dutch Golden Age of exploration and cartography. |
