The American Numismatic Assoc ( ANA) has an annual show/convention, and it looks like a give-away/welcome gift from the show. Show this year was in Denver a couple months ago.

The Dutch mint made these especially for those shows to be given or sold, more as a special convention token, rather than a coin to be spent. You might spot them on ebay to get an idea of the value.

I have a very similar medal; it came packaged with a 2002 Dutch Royal Wedding coin, though the medal itself is dated 2001 (Atlanta); it has the same mint building facade on the obverse, but has a different mintmaster named on the reverse. I acquired mine from the estate sale of a collector who, judging from the other items present in the collection, had gone to several of the big coin shows in America and Europe.
I assume that the Dutch Mint had these medals made to be packaged with coins that would be sold only at the coin show. Although, "Compliments of..." (which appears on both your medal and mine) implies something given away, not sold; perhaps they were lucky door prizes at the show?
