One of these stylized coins bears a portrait effigy of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands accompanied by the legend 'BEATRIX KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN' (Beatrix, Queen of the Netherlands). The overall design reflects a decorative, commemorative artistic style celebrating four centuries of Dutch-Japanese commercial relations. |
