Additional information

Issued to mark the 1998 visit of Queen Beatrix to London, this piece was produced by the Royal Dutch Mint as part of a broader program of large-format silver issues aimed squarely at the collector market. The embedded gold kinebar — a thin laminated gold strip bonded into the silver field — was a proprietary technique developed by Engelhard, used on a small number of Dutch collector issues during this period as a novelty differentiator.

The X# prefix in the Krause catalog places it outside the regular currency series entirely. It was never legal tender in any practical sense and saw no circulation.
