| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 500th anniversary of Hieronymus Bosch's death, this coin was part of the Netherlands' broader cultural commemoration program centered on 's-Hertogenbosch, the city where Bosch spent virtually his entire life. The "Jheronimus" spelling used on the coin reflects the form the painter himself actually signed — the more familiar "Hieronymus" being a later Latinized standardization.
As a silver-plated copper piece with face value of five euros, it was legal tender but priced above face value at point of sale — effectively a collectible from issue, never intended for the till.
