| Obverse description | Central effigy of King Willem-Alexander facing right, rendered in the style of an embroidered badge or woven patch, evoking a military insignia aesthetic. A circular legend in Dutch surrounds the portrait, reading KONING DER NEDERLANDEN WILLEM-ALEXANDER, with the date 2019 and the Utrecht mint mark and privy mark incorporated within the lettering. The overall design is framed in a manner consistent with the commemorative military theme of the issue. |

| Reverse description | Stylised embroidered badge design divided into two principal motifs: to the left, a parachute symbolising the airborne assault phase of Operation Market Garden, and to the right, a bridge representing the famous road bridge over the Lower Rhine at Arnhem (the 'Bridge Too Far'). The two elements are separated by a central vertical panel bearing the commemorative legend MARKET GARDEN and the denomination 5 €. The overall composition is executed in the same embroidered badge style as the obverse, unifying the design across both faces of the coin. |
