| Additional information |
The Netherlands had particular reason to commemorate Waterloo in 2015: the Duke of Wellington's forces included a substantial Dutch-Belgian contingent under the Prince of Orange, and roughly a quarter of the Allied casualties on June 18, 1815 were Dutch or Belgian. The battle was fought on what was then Dutch-controlled territory, just weeks after Napoleon had escaped Elba and marched north through a kingdom that had only existed since 1814.
KM#365.2 is the colorized variant of the Dutch five-euro Waterloo issue; an uncolorized version was struck concurrently as KM#365.1.
