long time ago, two countries, Belgium and the current 'Netherlands'.
A country with a turbulent history of monarchs, from popluar, to extremely unpopular and back to very popular...
A small overview of the Kings and Queens who were ruling the Netherlands since 1815.
| Willem I | Wilhelmina van Pruisen | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Emma | Willem III | Sophia | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

There is something special about the coins and the stamps...
First King Willem I (Guillaume I):
 |
| Willem I (facing right) - not in my collection |
 |
| Willem II (facing left) - not in my collection |
 |
| Willem III (facing right) - not in my collection |
She wasn't really Queen, her title was Queen-regent until her daughter Wilhelmina succeeded the throne.
There are no circulation coins with Queen (-regent) Emma.
Queen Wilhelmina

| Queen Wilhemina - facing left |
 |
| Queen Juliana - facing right |
 |
| Guilder coin Beatrix (facing left) |

| Euro coin Beatrix (facing left) |
(soon) King Willem-Alexander (Willem IV)
King Willem - Alexander will be the new monarch on the Dutch coins... guess what side he will be facing...
