The Annual Sets The Netherlands 2022 contain all eight denominations in different qualities and packaging.

As culture carriers and a means of communication, coins function as a sort of time capsules. The Annual Sets The Netherlands from 2022 are therefore linked to (inter)national and personal milestones of this year. In addition, from 2022 to 2025, the Annual Sets from the National Collection® are devoted to the four elements: earth, fire, air and water. After all, the elements are linked to the seasons that determine our annual rhythm. The series starts this year with the element “Earth”.
Mintage: 11 500 sets.
