Euro Gold And Silver Commemorative Coins (Netherlands)
The commemorative coins of Netherlands are minted by the KNM (the Royal Dutch Mint)
The value of a Dutch silver coin corresponds with the theme of the coin. If the coin has a royal theme, then the face value is 10 euro. Any other subject and the coin will be of face value 5 euro. The same principle with the gold coins, which have face values of 10 euro and 20 euro. Sometimes also 50 euro gold coins are issued.

Famous quotes containing the words gold, silver and/or coins:
“In our daily intercourse with men, our nobler faculties are dormant and suffered to rust. None will pay us the compliment to expect nobleness from us. Though we have gold to give, they demand only copper.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“When I from black and he from white cloud free,
And round the tent of Godlike lambs we joy,
I’ll shade him from the heat till he can bear
To lean in joy upon our father’s knee;
And then I’ll stand and stroke his silver hair,
And be like him, and he will then love me.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)
“A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.”
