| Additional information |
Fantasy pieces cataloged under Krause's X# sequence were not issued by any official mint or governmental authority — they exist in a commercial gray zone, typically produced by private mints or medal manufacturers targeting the collector market. This piece marks the 25th anniversary of Juliana's reign, which began with her accession in September 1948 following Wilhelmina's abdication. No official Dutch 5-cent commemorative was struck for the occasion; the Nederlandse Munt issued no circulating or collector coinage of this denomination for the anniversary.
