Additional information

Issued to mark the transfer of the European Central Bank's headquarters to Frankfurt, this piece was produced by the Royal Dutch Mint as a prestige collector's item at the moment the Netherlands surrendered monetary policy to the newly formed ECB — a politically charged transition that Queen Beatrix publicly supported despite significant domestic skepticism about the euro project. The kinebar inlay, a trademarked gold-bonded technology developed by Argor-Heraeus, was a deliberate prestige flourish rather than a monetary necessity.

The X# prefix in the Krause catalog designates it as a non-circulating fantasy or bullion issue outside standard national series.
