I love history as much as photography.

 

Under the Occupation, the highest denomination of the new design series was the 25 cents coin. It shows a charming though highly stylized representation of a Viking ship. This represents the Netherlands as both a seafaring nation and a Germanic people. You may note that the Vikings did not originate in the Netherlands, of course.
