5 euro and 10 euro coin
(silver and gold)
size: 29 mm / 22,5 mm
commissioned by: Royal Dutch Mint and Minestry of Finance, the Netherlands
year: 2019
Since 2012 every year special commemorative coins have been commissioned by the Royal Dutch Mint, celebrating Dutch World Heritage.
Katrin Korfmann emphasizes in her design on the contrast between the free, organic form of the former landscape and the constructed grid of the dutch polder architecture, so called “The Reclaimed Landscape”.
She developed positive negative design for two coins:
The landscape of the former island of Schokland and the portrait of the king on the front of this coin rise - a reference to the former island, which emerged above the Zuiderzee. The Beemster coin is designed exactly the other way around: The area of the former lake and the portrait of the King go into the coin. The unity of the two coins is strengthened by the fact that the lines surrounding the king's portrait on the Schokland coin continue if they were placed exactly on top of the king's portrait of the Beemster coin. Céline Hurka designed the typographic elements for the coins.
