KNRM 200 years 5 Euro Coin 2024

A voluntary organization that has been working completely free of charge for 200 years and has already saved tens of thousands of people: the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM) is one of the most important organizations in the Netherlands. The Royal Dutch Mint launched an official Silver 5 Euro commemorative coin for KNRM 200 years, commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Finance!

Design

The KNRM 200 years 5 Euro Coin Silver Proof is designed by Coralie Vogelaar, in collaboration with designer Hendrik-Jan Grievink. The obverse of the coin shows an image of Dutch King Willem-Alexander. You can see him looking out on the peaceful coast of the North Sea, with his gaze fixated on the horizon. On the top, the text ‘ Willem-Alexander, Koning der Nederlanden’ starts and continues in a semi-circle. On the reverse of the coin, the sea shows herself in a much different way: the turbulent and wild waves bear the silhouette of a KNRM rescue boat with two volunteers in it. When the coin moves, the light changes, which further emphasizes the dynamics of the sea.
