| Reverse description | A stylized geometric Red Cross rendered in a reflective, three-dimensional perspective dominates the central field, created through converging diagonal lines that give the cross a faceted, mirror-like appearance. The cross is formed by the negative space at the centre, surrounded by radiating angular panels. Around the periphery, the seven fundamental principles of the Red Cross movement are inscribed in Dutch: EENHEID, ALGEMEENHEID, MENSLIEVENDHEID, ONPARTIJDIGHEID, NEUTRALITEIT, ONAFHANKELIJKHEID, and VRIJWILLIGHEID. At the top, within the cross design, the inscription NEDERLANDSE RODE KRUIS identifies the issuing humanitarian organization, while the legend 150 JAAR appears in the lower field commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Dutch Red Cross. |

| Additional information |
The Netherlands Antilles dissolved as a political entity in 2010, leaving Curaçao and Sint Maarten as autonomous countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with the remaining islands absorbed into the Netherlands proper. The Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen continued operating under that name for collector and commemorative issues well after dissolution — a bureaucratic continuity that makes the issuing authority on post-2010 coins technically a legacy institution issuing currency for a territory that no longer exists in the form it once governed.
The Red Cross series from this issuer has a consistent pattern of modest mintages aimed squarely at the regional collector market rather than international distribution.
