| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination 2 1/2 is prominently displayed in large numerals at center, with CENT inscribed directly below in capital letters, the entire design enclosed within a finely detailed wreath of oak and laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The field within the wreath is plain, lending emphasis to the bold denomination numerals. The wreath is rendered with naturalistic leaf and blossom detail, consistent with the engraving style of the Utrecht Mint during the Wilhelmina era. |

The 2½-cent denomination had an awkward existence in Dutch commerce — a fraction of a cent with limited practical utility, yet retained in the coinage system largely for continuity with established price structures and market conventions. By the time these pieces were struck in the early 1900s, the denomination was already viewed as a nuisance by the public, and it was abolished entirely in 1906, which accounts for the short four-year run.
Queen Wilhelmina had assumed the throne in 1898 at age eighteen following a regency period after her father William III died in 1890.
