| Reverse description | The large numeral '5' dominates the upper portion of the field, with the denomination legend CENTS inscribed immediately below in bold raised lettering. The denomination is enclosed within a decorative wreath composed of oak branches with acorns and foliage, tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The overall design closely emulates the style of early twentieth-century Dutch coinage, lending the piece a period-appropriate aesthetic. |

| Additional information |
A fantasy piece issued under the "Beatrix Gelderland Province" attribution — a category produced by private mints for the collector market rather than by the Dutch state. These were never authorized by De Nederlandsche Bank and carry no legal tender status. The timing, 1981, places it within a wave of such issues that flooded the market following Beatrix's accession to the throne in April of that year.
