This specimen was lot 1969 in Jean Elsen sale 149 (Brussels, December 2021), where it sold for €250 (about US$339 including buyer's fees). The catalog description[1] noted,

This denomination is used exclusively for commemoratives and is not legal tender outside the Netherlands. We don't know what prompted the issue of this coin as no nations were admitted to the EEC in 2003 or 2004.
