A profile portrait of Willem-Alexander partially covered by a profile portrait of Queen Beatrix, both facing to the left, surrounded by the inscriptions "Willem-Alexander Prince of Orange" and "Beatrix Queen of the Netherlands" divided by the crown symbol.

Date 28 January 2013 when Beatrix announced her intention of abdicating below, between the Royal Dutch mintmark (Mercury's wand) from the left and mint master mark (sailboat, Maarten Brouwer) from the right.

The outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Engraver: Pannos Goutzemisis

A geographical map of Western Europe spans the outer ring and inner core on the right side of the coin. The inscription 2 EURO is superimposed over the map of Europe, with the numeral “2” located in an open field representing the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

12 stars are located on the right side of the outer ring, with six stars atop the map of Europe and six stars below it; six vertical stripes cut across the inner core of the coin, visually connecting the upper and lower star segments.

Luc Luycx, a designer at the Royal Belgian Mint, designed the Euro’s common reverse; his initials, LL, are seen on the right side of the design, just under the “O” in “EURO.”

GOD BE WITH US. The same lettering had been applied to the larger denomination guilder coins
