The Annual Set The Netherlands 2019 in Proof-quality is the official coinset of The Netherlands and contains all 8 new eurocoins! This is the third set from the series with the theme 'Dutch Cities', this year with the city of Maastricht. Not only is Maastricht the birthplace of our Mint Master Stephan Satijn, but also the hometown of the Burgundian life! In addition, Maastricht is also the birthplace of the euro!

On Friday the 7^th of February, 1992, twelve member states of the European Community signed the world famous ‘Verdrag van Maastricht’. This ceremonial event was the starting point of the formation of the European Union and the introducten of the new currency. On January 1^st, 2002, the first euro note was distributed. That historical moment also took place in Maastricht!

Fun fact: The privy mark is the Sint Servaasbridge from Maastricht. This mark can be seen on all Dutch eurocoins since the end of 2017!
