| Reverse description | A right-facing portrait bust of Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, wearing a tiara and drop earrings, occupies the right portion of the field. To the left, a detailed background scene depicts traditional Dutch windmills set against a landscape with a waterway. A coloured ribbon in the red, white, and blue of the Dutch national flag unfurls across the lower field. The cursive legend QUEEN MÁXIMA of the Netherlands arcs across the upper field, with the secondary inscription MÁXIMA ZORREGUIETA CERRUTI in the left field, and the date 2014 appears at the lower centre. |

| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a broader commemorative program issued by Tanzania in honor of Queen Máxima of the Netherlands ahead of her state visit and in recognition of her work as the UN Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development — a role she assumed in 2009. The Netherlands and Tanzania maintain long-standing development ties, and the issue reflects that diplomatic relationship in numismatic form.
