| Additional information |
Issued in 2005 as part of a nostalgic circulation tribute, this piece revisits the pre-euro Dutch coinage that was withdrawn when the Netherlands adopted the common currency in January 2002. The kwartje, as the 25-cent coin was popularly known, had circulated continuously since the 19th century and its disappearance prompted genuine public sentiment — unusual for a coin of such modest face value.
The 2005 issue was struck for collectors rather than circulation, three years after the guilder series ceased to be legal tender.
