X# prefix denotes a fantasy or unofficial strike — this piece was never authorized by the Dutch state and has no status as legal tender. It appears to have been produced speculatively around the time of Juliana's abdication in April 1980, when Beatrix acceded to the throne, playing on collector interest in the transition by pairing the incoming queen's name with her predecessor's still-circulating coinage format.
The reference to both Beatrix and Juliana in the title reflects the transitional moment it was made to exploit, not any official dual-reign authorization.
