| Obverse description | Educational play money (schoolgeld) executed in green, purple, and yellow, loosely modelled after the 1985 Netherlands 250 Gulden Lighthouse series issue. The central vignette presents the Euromast observation tower of Rotterdam, rendered with a stylised beam of light emanating from its summit against a guilloche underprint. Denomination numerals and identifying inscriptions are arranged around the vignette in a simplified layout consistent with a didactic reproduction. |

Schoolgeld — literally "school money" — was Dutch educational play currency, produced for use in classroom arithmetic exercises. These pieces circulated only as far as the nearest desk. The 250 Gulden denomination is on the higher end of what typical schoolgeld sets included, reflecting the inflationary denominations needed to make mental arithmetic exercises feel realistic during the postwar decades when the Dutch guilder was still the national currency.
