They are not denominations, of course, but lottery prizes. Both are 25 mm plastic. The portrait on the gold-coloured piece is Gaston Starreveld, presenter of the TV "programme" in which the prizes are isued. The logo on the silver-coloured piece is that of the organisers of the lottery.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.

Another one from the same series. Brass (at least on the surface), 5.2 gram, 24.1 mm.

Perhaps try against a magnet?

Quite a high prize  :o  I suppose someone may win something.

The high amounts (around €50 million) are annual prizes. The monthly prizes are around €5 million. PCL is the Dutch answer to Readers Digest: once they have your address, they'll keep going after you. Once they have your money, you are highly unlikely to see it again.

In my eagerness to keep magnets away from electronics, plastic cards with a magnetic strip and what not, I keep putting it where I can't find it. ::)

Another from 2010 for €33 milljoen lets hope I am not too late! This one is steel as it sticks to my magnet. 24.2mm.

I have no idea regarding the rotation of the reverse but it looks right. [a fox left facing a lion right  ;D]

The side with the map of the Netherlands is correctly positioned ;) Your prize was already claimed by someone calling himself Figleaf... >:D
