Obverse

When William III died in 1890, Wilhelmina was not old enough to reign. His mother, Queen Emma, therefore exercised the regency until 1898, the year in which she acceded to the throne. His fifty-year reign was marked by two world wars. From 1940 to 1945, she went into exile in London with the government. Her determination during this period commands respect, both in the Netherlands and abroad. The note shows her in coronation costume from a painting painted during her coronation, in 1898, by Thérèse van Duyl Schwarze (1851-1918).

When William III died in 1890, Wilhelmina was not old enough to reign. Her mother, Queen Emma, was regent until 1898, when she acceded to the throne. Her fifty-year reign was marked by two world wars. From 1940 to 1945, she was exiled to London with the government. Her determination during this period earned her respect at home and abroad. The banknote depicts her in coronation costume, based on a painting of her coronation in 1898 by Thérèse van Duyl Schwarze (1851-1918).

Issued in the classic series, with "ANNIVERSARY 2020" distinguished by the watermark and the addition of five stars on the obverse right:

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

À la mort de Guillaume III en 1890, Wilhelmina n'a pas l'âge de régner. Sa mère, la reine Emma, exerce donc la régence jusqu'en 1898, année où elle accède au trône. Son règne de cinquante ans est marqué par deux guerres mondiales. De 1940 à 1945, elle s'exile à Londres avec le gouvernement. Sa détermination durant cette période force le respect, tant aux Pays-Bas qu'à l'étranger. Le billet la représente en costume de couronnement d'après un tableau peint lors de son couronnement, en 1898, par Thérèse van Duyl Schwarze (1851-1918).

Billet édité en séries classique, et « ANNIVERSARY 2020 » se distinguant sur le filigrane et l'adjonction de cinq étoiles sur l'avers à droite:
