About the Royal Dutch Mint
The Royal Dutch Mint is fully owned by the Dutch state and has been the country’s sole authority for striking and issuing coins since 1807. Its origins date back to 1806, when King Louis Napoleon decided that a single national body should handle coin production, replacing the medieval system where individual cities issued their own coins. The mint was initially planned for Amsterdam but was instead established in Utrecht due to financial constraints. After the Netherlands became a kingdom in 1813 under King William I, it was renamed the Rijks Munt. A second mint in Brussels existed until Belgium gained independence in 1839, after which the Rijks Munt became the only mint in the kingdom.

Over the years, the mint became fully integrated under the Ministry of Finance, officially becoming a state-owned company in 1912. During World War II, coins were even produced in the United States to meet post-liberation demand. In 1994, the mint was renamed De Nederlandse Munt NV, and in 1999 it received the royal designation De Koninklijke Nederlandse Munt, or the Royal Dutch Mint, reflecting its historic and official status as the nation’s coin producer.
