    It looks like a "medallic issue" coin to me. It's got all the normal mintmaster's symbols "real" Dutch coinage has. The "denomination" is either 1 euro or 7 euros, depending on whether the "7" in the rugby logo is intended as part of the denomination.

    Although issued at the official Dutch mint, it's not part of the official coin series as Euro coinage hadn't officially commenced in 1998 (the euro didn't even officially exist until 1999). Lots of other countries have issued such "medallic" coins, denominated in ecus (pre-1998) and euros (post 1998). Though Krause used to list these in among the "patterns", some time ago they de-listed all the "medallic coinage" like this; you'll likely find it in the "Unusual World Coins" book instead.

    It looks plain dull and boring to me.
