| Obverse description | A stylized, linear effigy of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands is depicted in three-quarter facing portrait, rendered in a contemporary engraving style evocative of a framed painted portrait. The king is shown in suit and tie with his right hand raised to his chin in a thoughtful pose, set against a rectangular frame occupying the central field. The circular legend WILLEM-ALEXANDER KONING DER NEDERLANDEN runs along the upper periphery, while the date 2016 appears in the lower right field. |

| Reverse description | A densely composed, surrealist scene inspired by the fantastical paintings of Jheronimus Bosch fills the entire field, featuring a dynamic arrangement of grotesque hybrid creatures, fantastical monsters, and human figures drawn in a linear style faithful to Bosch's late medieval imagery. At the center, a large circular form with an eye motif anchors the composition, surrounded by flying creatures, skeletal figures, and robed human characters in animated poses. The date 1516 — the year of Bosch's death — appears in the lower left field alongside the mint mark. The legends VIJF EURO to the left and JHERONIMUS BOSCH to the right arc along the upper periphery, framing the commemorative scene. |
