| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, large numeral '5' accompanied by the denomination indicator 'ct' in the central field, all set against a background of evenly spaced vertical lines that extend across the entire face. A horizontal rule divides the upper and lower portions of the design, with the four-digit date '1996' inscribed in the lower field between the Utrecht mint mark (a sword-and-crown privy mark) on the left and the mintmaster's privy mark on the right. The geometric, modernist composition is consistent throughout the series. |

| Additional information |
The Netherlands had struck its 5-cent piece in bronze continuously since the 19th century, and Beatrix's accession in 1980 changed the portrait but little else about the denomination. These coins circulated heavily through the final two decades before the guilder was abolished — the Netherlands fixed its exchange rate to the euro in 1999 and withdrew the guilder entirely in 2002, making 2001 the hard stop for this series.
Heavy everyday use means genuinely uncirculated survivors from the early dates are harder to find than the mintage figures suggest.
