| Reverse description | Central denomination numeral '5' rendered in large, bold relief, with the inscription CENTS below, all enclosed within a decorative wreath composed of flowering and fruiting branches including berries, blossoms, and foliage, which encircle the design on both sides and meet at the base with an ornamental floral device. The field is plain and unadorned beyond the wreath. The overall design echoes the traditional Dutch 5-cent coinage aesthetic. |

| Additional information |
Princess Margriet was born in Ottawa in 1943 during the German occupation, while the Dutch royal family was in exile in Canada. She has never appeared on official Netherlands coinage — making any piece bearing her likeness a private fantasy issue with no authorization from the Dutch state or any recognized mint authority. These pieces circulate exclusively among thematic collectors and have no legal tender status in any jurisdiction.
