In 2000 to celebrate the Millennium, the Royal Dutch Mint on behalf of the Netherlands released a very Limited Issue Dual Dated 10 Ten Gulden Silver Proof Coin struck in solid .800 Silver.
The reverse and obverse depict a dual-dated coin featuring a profile portrait of Queen Beatrice sitting above a design of twelve elliptical rings which represent the months of the year and the passage of time into the new Millennium. These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
