| Additional information |
The phrase "Moeder des vaderlands" — Mother of the Fatherland — was a popular honorific applied to Wilhelmina, whose wartime broadcasts from London via Radio Oranje became one of the most consequential propaganda tools of the Dutch resistance. This piece is a fantasy issue, meaning it was never authorized or produced by the Dutch state mint; such items proliferated in the collector market around the 1980 abdication year, capitalizing on Wilhelmina's enduring postwar reputation while Beatrix's accession dominated commemorative demand.
