| Obverse description | Stylized effigy of Queen Beatrix facing right, rendered in a distinctive modern abstract style composed entirely of fine engraved diagonal lines and geometric crosshatching, creating a sculptural portrait effect against a highly polished mirror field. The design, executed by engraver Karel Martens, dissolves the royal portrait into an intricate lattice of ruled lines, giving the impression of a photographic half-tone image in relief. The circular legend reads BEATRIX in the upper left and KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN along the lower arc, both in capital Roman lettering. |
