{{ .T `
From the years 1999–2013 all Dutch euro coins featured the portrait
of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands. After her abdication from the
throne in 2013 the designs of all denominations were changed to
feature the portrait of the new King Willem-Alexander. After her
abdication the direction in which the monarchs portrait faced was
flipped; a tradition dating back to the earliest coins of the
Kingdom of the Netherlands.

<!-- TODO: Get a picture of the edge-inscription -->
{{ .T `
Coins featuring both monarchs contain text reading ‘%sBEATRIX
KONINGIN DER NEDERLANDEN%s’ (‘BEATRIX QUEEN OF THE
NETHERLANDS’) and ‘%sWillem-Alexander Koning der
Nederlanden%s’ (‘Willem-Alexander King of the Netherlands’)
respectively. The €2 coins also feature an edge-inscription
reading ‘%sGOD ⋆ ZIJ ⋆ MET ⋆ ONS ⋆%s’
(‘GOD ⋆ IS ⋆ WITH ⋆ US ⋆’).

{{ .T `
The €1 and €2 coins featuring King Willem-Alexander were minted
with a much lower %srelief%s than most euro coins of the same
denomination. As a result it is not uncommon for these coins to
appear worn after little use in circulation.`
