| Obverse description | The obverse features a highly stylized photographic portrait of Queen Beatrix rendered in a distinctive stippled dot-matrix technique that creates a halftone effect across the entire field, giving the design a contemporary artistic character. The effigy of the Queen is depicted facing slightly to the right, emerging from the textured background created by the uniform pattern of raised dots. The legend BEATRIX arcs along the upper rim, while the words WIJ ZIJN KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN (We Are Queen of the Netherlands) are distributed along the lower and left periphery in spaced capital letters. The innovative dot-matrix artistic treatment, designed by engraver G. Kruip, reflects a modern approach to royal portraiture on commemorative coinage. |
