Unique Coincard from the War Time – Blue Helmets in the South, 1979–1985

Dutch UNIFIL mission in Lebanon
A moment of commitment, vigilance and peace

Imagine: Lebanon, 1979–1985. Between civil war and unstable peace, Dutch soldiers were deployed as part of the UN peacekeeping force UNIFIL. Their task: to create security, protect civilians, and monitor buffer zones. Day after day they worked in difficult conditions, often far from home, to prevent escalation and protect local communities.

This mission shows how war experience transforms into a commitment to peace. Soldiers operate not only in uniform, but as representatives of international solidarity and responsibility. Their presence marks the difference between chaos and hope, between threat and protection.

In this Coincard that memory lives on. A coin from this period, simple in form but rich in meaning. It symbolizes courage, commitment, and the ongoing need to safeguard peace, even in dangerous circumstances.

Although the past was heavy, the legacy remains alive in remembrance and awareness. This Coincard is a quiet tribute to the Dutch blue helmets who risked their safety to protect others, and to the power of remembrance in keeping history alive.

A piece of the past in your hand.
A reminder of dedication and vigilance.
A time that keeps speaking, so that we never forget.
