| Additional information |
Schiedam's "3 Koornbloemen" distillery was one of the last survivors of a jenever industry that once defined the city — at its 19th-century peak, Schiedam operated over 400 distilleries, making it the gin capital of the world by volume. This 2½ euro piece was issued under the Dutch municipal coin program that briefly allowed cities to produce legal-tender collector issues tied to local heritage, a short-lived experiment that ended before the euro changeover rendered the entire series obsolete.
