Official Netherlands Euro coin sets covering the years 1999 to 2002, issued in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) quality and presented in their original official mint cards. Each annual set contains the complete series of 8 euro coins (1 cent to 2 euro). The reverse features the common Eurozone design with twelve stars, while the obverse depicts the reigning Dutch monarch. These early issues are especially collectible as they include the first Dutch euro releases, struck before and shortly after the euro entered circulation in 2002. The Royal Dutch Mint (Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt) produced these sets for collectors, showcasing the transition period into the single European currency. All coins are uncirculated BU quality and were not released into circulation. A desirable starter lot for collectors seeking early Netherlands euro issues.
