The 2013 Coin of the Year Award was bestowed on the Royal Dutch Mint at the World Money Fair held in Berlin, Germany.
Martin Brouwer, managing director of the Royal Dutch Mint, accepted the prestigious award. The coin design that won was a silver 5 Euro coin with theme of the, “100th Anniversary of the Dutch Mint with QR Code.”
This year’s winner was selected by a panel of almost 100 judges from around the world in fierce competition that included entries from many of the worlds’ mints. New technology in coinage production has been an important factor in selecting recent coinage winners.
The COTY Awards include ten other categories for coinage production. A list of all the winners can be found at the Krause Publications website: http://www.numismaster.com.
