Question
my coin has the beatrix on it but on the other side it has a 25ct and its a 1991 and its in really good shape how much is it worth and where is it from

Answer
Hi Amanda, There were 25.1 million of these nickel 25 cents coins minted by the Netherlands that year featuring Queen Beatrix (1980-). It may be worth up to about .20 depending on amount of wear and collector demand.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
