| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of Queen Beatrix facing right, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail. The legend KONINGIN BEATRIX arcs along the upper periphery, while the commemorative date 30 APRIL 1980, marking her inauguration, appears in the lower field. The portrait is executed in a style reminiscent of the standard Dutch coinage tradition, with the queen's hair drawn back and shoulders truncated at the coin's lower margin. |

| Additional information |
Fantasy pieces keyed to Beatrix's April 1980 inauguration proliferated almost immediately after Juliana's abdication, produced by private mints and medal manufacturers entirely outside Dutch government authority. X-numbered references in Krause place this squarely in that unofficial category — legal to own, never legal tender, and issued purely to satisfy collector demand for coronation-adjacent material.
