| Obverse description | The obverse bears a stylized effigy of King Willem-Alexander facing right, rendered in a bi-tonal duotone treatment that evokes a digital glitch or television signal distortion effect. The portrait is executed in a contemporary graphic style, lending the design a dynamic, electric visual character. The legend WILLEM-ALEXANDER KONING DER NEDERLANDEN arcs around the upper and lower periphery of the field. |

| Additional information |
Issued in partnership with NOS Jeugdjournaal — the Netherlands' long-running children's news broadcast, on air since 1981 — this coin was part of a broader Dutch effort to produce collector pieces aimed at younger audiences. The Royal Dutch Mint has leaned into this segment aggressively since the mid-2010s, with educational media tie-ins becoming a recurring device. Silver-plated copper issues of this type circulate freely as gifts rather than currency, and most survive in near-original condition simply because recipients keep them.
