| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a highly stylized, minimalist outline profile effigy of King Willem-Alexander facing right, rendered as a single continuous line in a modernist artistic style evocative of the De Stijl movement. The legend KONING DER NEDERLANDEN is inscribed vertically along the left side of the field. The king's name WILLEM-ALEXANDER appears horizontally in the lower portion of the field. Two small mint marks — the Utrecht privy mark (caduceus) and the mintmaster's mark (a bird) — are visible to the lower left of the portrait. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is designed in a striking Mondrian-inspired geometric composition, featuring intersecting vertical and horizontal lines that divide the field in a manner reminiscent of the artist's signature grid-based works. The denomination 5 EURO is inscribed vertically along the left portion of the central vertical line. The name PIET MONDRIAAN appears horizontally in the lower right quadrant of the field, flanked by the artist's birth year 1872 to the left of the vertical axis. The issue year 2022 is inscribed vertically below the horizontal axis. The overall design pays homage to Mondriaan's abstract Neo-Plasticist aesthetic using the coin's format itself as a compositional element. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The Netherlands has issued a long-running series of five-euro collector coins honoring Dutch masters, and this piece falls within that program — Mondrian being an almost inevitable inclusion given his international name recognition. Born Pieter Cornelis Mondriaan, he dropped one 'a' from his surname when he moved to Paris in 1912, a deliberate rebranding as he shed his early figurative style for the geometric abstraction that would define De Stijl. He died in New York in 1944, having fled the German occupation of the Netherlands.
Silver-plated copper five-euro pieces of this type are the circulation-intended variant, struck for spending rather than display.
