2000 Dobras Netherlands 25 Cents

São Tomé and Príncipe issued this piece during a period of significant monetary instability — the dobra had been pegged to the Portuguese escudo in 1992 following IMF intervention, and the country was navigating the transition toward eventual eurozone anchor currency arrangements. The "Netherlands 25 Cents" denomination pairing is characteristic of the commemorative series São Tomé produced through Dutch-connected minting relationships in the late 1990s, targeting the European collector market rather than domestic circulation.

KM#111 never circulated on the islands.
