<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1626625, member: 39&quot;]When I wrote &quot;no scandals&quot;, I was not referring to Juliana, whose husband Bernhard you probably had in mind, but to her daughter Beatrix. Sure, initially some in NL opposed her marriage too (she had also married a German), but that certainly changed, and I don&#039;t recall anything in her years as a queen that would have caused much criticism. The difference in style that I mentioned, well, Juliana wanted to be as &quot;normal&quot; as possible. She preferred &quot;Mrs&quot; over &quot;Her Majesty&quot; and could be seen riding a bicycle in public. That is something that for Beatrix would be pretty much impossible - and Willem Alexander may be a little different again.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now all this will not be reflected by the future coin designs. I am fairly sure that his portrait(s) on the coins will be somewhat abstract - like Beatrix&#039;s, but different. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; And contrary to Spanish coins for example, where the king is on the two highest denominations only, the Dutch pieces will all have his effigy. Maybe two different ones, like on the current coins, maybe just one (see Belgium) or maybe more ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
