<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2835552, member: 39&quot;]Have been to Vlissingen a lot where Michiel de Ruyter is well remembered of course <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> and of course I had to buy the vijfje (€5 collector coin) which commemorated the 400th anniversary of his birth. I don&#039;t really like that design (see the first link below), but the artist played with the words <i>onze parel hun schrick</i> in an interesting way: &quot;By decoupling the words PEARL, OUR, THEIR and FEAR this national money questions the heroes on pedestals.&quot; <a href="http://www.egbg.nl/?id=1292269519&amp;lan=en" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.egbg.nl/?id=1292269519&amp;lan=en" rel="nofollow">http://www.egbg.nl/?id=1292269519&amp;lan=en</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The Dutch central bank presented an old de Ruyter medal in its &quot;coin of the month&quot; series. Text in Dutch, and the photo does not really show details. But it is cool that the piece is hollow to get a better &quot;3D&quot; effect. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> <a href="https://www.dnb.nl/over-dnb/nationale-numismatische-collectie/munt-van-de-maand/dnb342894.jsp" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.dnb.nl/over-dnb/nationale-numismatische-collectie/munt-van-de-maand/dnb342894.jsp" rel="nofollow">https://www.dnb.nl/over-dnb/nationale-numismatische-collectie/munt-van-de-maand/dnb342894.jsp</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
