200 Jahre Sondersatz (KNRM-RNLI) Niederlande Silber PP 5 Euro 2024

Both KNRM and RNLI are organisations of great importance. Both perform life-saving actions on the water. KNRM was founded in 1824 as an independent rescue organization, following a rescue operation by coastal residents of Den Helder. The principles that stood at the very base of the KNRM, are still valid to this day. This means total free assistance, the rescue work is only carried out by trained volunteers and the KNRM is maintained only through donations. The Special Set: 200 years of KNRM & RNLI consists of two Silver coins: the KNRM 200 years 5 Euro Coin Silver Proof and the 200 Years of the RNLI UK 50p Silver Proof Colour. The Royal Dutch Mint’s silver proof coin features the effigy of King Willem-Alexander on the obverse. The reverse design shows a turbulent sea with wild waves carrying a KNRM rescue boat. When the coin is moved, it almost seems like the sea is coming to life. The Royal Mint’s Silver Proof coin depicts the effigy of His Majesty King Charles III on the obverse. The reverse design shows the flag of the RNLI encircled by an orange lifebuoy, which is shown in colour. Together, the Silver coins are put in a unique packaging. It seems like the coins are in the water, this makes it a nice reference to where most rescues take place: the sea. This special and fitting packaging makes the Special Set even more wanted!
