Artist and architect Stani Michiels won the Dutch Ministry of Finance competition to design a coin with the theme of ‘Netherlands and Architecture’.
Front
A portrait of the queen which is constructed with names of important Dutch architects.
Back
A number of architecture books published currently, arranging different sized books around the edge of the coin so that the space between their tops forms the outline of a map of The Netherlands.
I personally find the back side more interesting and very creative!
The coin was released to the public on 30.10.2008
