5 Cents - Beatrix Inauguration

Beatrix's investiture on April 30, 1980 was anything but ceremonious — Amsterdam erupted in riots as squatters and protesters clashed with police under the slogan "Geen woning, geen kroning" (No housing, no coronation). The Dutch mint nonetheless proceeded with circulation issues dated to that year marking the transition from Juliana, who abdicated after 32 years on the throne.

The Netherlands does not hold coronations; Beatrix was formally invested, a constitutional distinction the Dutch have maintained since 1948.
