This is the new Dutch five euro commemorative coin by Stani Michiels. It is a portrait of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands made entirely out of the names of famous Dutch architects. The names are ranked around the circle according to Google hits and will be changed each year according to their popularity. On the back are famous Dutch architecture books arranged around a circle to form an outline of the Netherlands with provinces marked by a bird native to that province.
Us? We get chin bearded street fighters, wooden toothed freaks, guys who get ganked by Aaron Burr, buildings we're sick of seeing, and a menagerie of Illuminati and Freemason symbols meant to lead Nicholas Cage to treasure. All on green with a new smear of peach, red, or blue so some gangster has to spend and extra five seconds on his counterfeiting. Where are my bird provinces, US Mint? Don't even get me started on the Presidential dollar coins. This year is Harrison, Tyler, Polk, and Taylor. That has failure written all over it. At least we'll be able to get Nixon and Dubya dollars. We do have that.
