Not a government issue. This is a fantasy piece produced in 1981 invoking the imagery of Queen Beatrix alongside the historic province of North Holland — struck with no official authorization from the Dutch state or the Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt. The Netherlands has a long tradition of such privately produced fantasy coinages, often timed to coincide with royal transitions; Beatrix ascended to the throne on April 30, 1980, making this a likely commercial response to that succession.
