Details

The coin represents 400 years of diplomatic relations between the Netherlands and Turkey. 400 years ago, Sultan Ahmed I received the Dutch envoy Cornelis Haga. Relations between the Ottoman Empire and the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands began in 1612 and were continued by the respective countries. As a result of these relations, the tulip also came to Europe and later also to what is now the Netherlands. Because of the theme, the first coin was not minted in the Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht, but in the Keukenhof.
