| Obverse description | The effigy of Queen Beatrix is rendered in a highly stylized typographic manner, formed entirely from the text of the first six stanzas of the Dutch national anthem (Wilhelmus). The portrait faces right, with the queen's profile composed of densely arranged lines of Dutch text in a calligraphic style. The legend around the lower portion of the field reads BEATRIX KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN, with the date 2010 incorporated into the design. The word SAMPLE is struck across the design, identifying this piece as a pattern or trial strike. |

| Obverse lettering | Wilhelmus van Nassouwe ben ik, van Duitsen bloed, den vaderland getrouwe blijf ik tot in den dood. Een Prinse van Oranje ben ik, vrij onverveerd, den Koning van Hispanje heb ik altijd geëerd. In Godes vrees te leven heb ik altijd betracht, daarom ben ik verdreven, om land, om luid gebracht. Maar God zal mij regeren als een goed instrument, dat ik zal wederkeren in mijnen regiment. Lijdt u, mijn onderzaten die oprecht zijt van aard, God zal u niet verlaten, al zijt gij nu bezwaard. Die vroom begeert te leven, bidt God nacht ende dag, dat Hij mij kracht zal geven, dat ik u helpen mag. Lijf en goed al te samen heb ik u niet verschoond, mijn broeders hoog van namen hebben `t u ook vertoond: Graaf Adolf is gebleven in Friesland in den slag, zijn ziel in `t eeuwig leven verwacht den jongsten dag. Edel en hooggeboren, van keizerlijken stam, een vorst des rijks verkoren, als een vroom christenman, voor Godes woord geprezen, heb ik, vrij onversaagd, als een held zonder vrezen mijn edel bloed gewaagd. Mijn schild ende betrouwen zijt Gij, o God mijn Heer, op U zo wil ik bouwen, Verlaat mij nimmermeer. Dat ik doch vroom mag blijven, uw dienaar t`aller stond, de tirannie verdrijven die mij mijn hart doorwondt. sample BEATRIX KONINGIN DER NEDERANDEN 2010 (Translation: William of Nassau, scion Of a Dutch and ancient line, I dedicate undying Faith to this land of mine. A prince I am, undaunted, Of Orange, ever free, To the king of Spain I`ve granted A lifelong loyalty. I `ve ever tried to live in The fear of God`s command And therefore I`ve been driven, From people, home, and land, But God, I trust, will rate me His willing instrument And one day reinstate me Into my government. Let no despair betray you, My subjects true and good. The Lord will surely stay you Though now you are pursued. He who would live devoutly Must pray God day and night To throw His power about me As champion of your right. Life and my all for others I sacrificed, for you! And my illustrious brothers Proved their devotion too. Count Adolf, more`s the pity, Fell in the Frisian fray, And in the eternal city Awaits the judgement day. I, nobly born, descended From an imperial stock. An empire`s prince, defended (Braving the battle`s shock Heroically and fearless As pious Christian ought) With my life`s blood the peerless Gospel of God our Lord. Beatrix Queen of The Netherlands) |
