Twenty-five cent coin (Netherlands)

The twenty-five cent was a coin worth a quarter of decimal Dutch guilder.

At first, the coin was minted with a layer of silver alloy.

During the reign of King William III of the Netherlands the coin became smaller from 1877 onwards.

Its last design originated from 1980, with Queen Beatrix as the monarch on its obverse.

The nickname came from the Dutch word for a quarter (kwart), and the diminutive suffix -je (similar to the English -ie).
