| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece was issued to mark the Amsterdam Treaty of 1997, which significantly expanded EU citizenship rights and formally incorporated the Schengen Agreement into European law. The Netherlands had a particular stake in that treaty — Amsterdam was chosen as the signing city in part because of Dutch diplomatic pressure during their EU Council presidency that year.
The embedded kinebar — a small gold wafer produced by Heraeus with a distinctive holographic strip — was a novel security and prestige feature at the time, rarely incorporated into sovereign coinage. Heraeus had only developed the kinebar format in the 1980s.
