There is to be an official coin for the birth of Princess Catherina-Amalia. Queen Beatrix's photo is on the front. On the back there is a picture of Princess Catherina-Amalia. When one turns the coin to one side Prince Willem-Alexander's photo appears and when one turns the coin to the opposite side Princess Maxima's face appears.

Wow, that's really cool! So there are going to be 2 coins of Amalia's birth? Wasn't there one before? This one looks really cool...holographic...I think it's great that the Netherlands is doing this for Amalia's birth. They didn't do this in any other country.

Wow, they're putting a lot into this baby (compared to the babies born recently)! Coat of arms, coin...what else is there?

Some other funny things are:

- A birth flag for Amalia:

And of course a lot of Amalia-trees, Amalia-cups etc. etc. :flower:

Maxima looks so lovely.Recently, when they thanked the people, she wore too much make-up.
After her pregnancy maxima looks matured(is this the right word?) and softer than ever,so nice...

This thread has been cleaned up and all broken links have been removed.
Amalia's birth coin was really neat, I wonder if they will do something similar for the next baby?
