Below the globe, the effigy of King Willem-Alexander appears in portrait. A circular legend surrounding the design bears the face value, commemorative inscription, and date, along with the mint mark and privy mark of the Royal Dutch Mint. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the Dutch Red Cross, founded in 1867 — just four years after Henry Dunant established the international movement following the carnage at Solferino. The Netherlands was among the earliest nations to ratify the first Geneva Convention, and this commemorative reflects that long institutional relationship. Gold issues in the Dutch commemorative program are struck in strictly limited quantities, rarely exceeding a few thousand pieces, making survival in original packaging the norm rather than the exception.
