| Additional information |
The silver jubilee referenced here marks Beatrix's 25 years on the Dutch throne, though the Netherlands Antilles was already in its final institutional decade — the island federation dissolved in 2010, splitting into separate constituent countries and special municipalities within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Coins from the Antillean monetary authority after roughly 2000 are thin on collector premiums precisely because the issuing entity's demise was visible in advance.
The aureate bonded steel composition — bronze-clad steel rather than any precious metal — was a deliberate cost-reduction choice that became near-universal for commemorative circulation issues from smaller Caribbean jurisdictions by the mid-2000s.
