Netherlands · 1923 · 5 G

This stamp commemorates the 25th anniversary of Queen Wilhelmina's accession to the throne. The design, by artist Jan Toorop, features a striking portrait of the Queen in an Art Deco style, framed by symbolic elements representing her reign. The high denomination of 5 Gulden made it one of the most expensive stamps issued by the Netherlands at the time.

Issued during the interwar period, this stamp celebrated a quarter-century of stable monarchy under Queen Wilhelmina, who would later become a symbol of Dutch resistance during World War II.
