| Additional information |
The "Maastricht red star" nickname refers to the red enamel applied to the twelve-star ring of the standard eurozone design — a post-mint colorization that is not officially sanctioned by the European Central Bank but is tolerated as a collectible novelty. These colored pieces are produced by private firms after legal tender coins leave the mint, making them a secondary market product rather than an official Royal Dutch Mint issue. The coloring process does not alter legal tender status under Dutch law, but the ECB has consistently declined to recognize colored variants as part of the official commemorative program.
