| Beschrijving voorzijde | A vintage biplane depicted in three-quarter view flies to the right across the central field, rendered in fine relief with detailed strut and undercarriage work. To the left, a cluster of tall agricultural grain sheaves or reeds rises vertically, evoking the reclaimed polder landscape of the Netherlands. The inscription 'BELOW / SEA-LEVEL / FLY-IN' appears in raised block lettering in the upper right portion of the field, referencing the celebrated airshow held at Lelystad Airport, which lies below sea level. |

The ECU — European Currency Unit — was never legal tender in the Netherlands or anywhere else; it was a basket currency used for accounting within the European Monetary System. Dutch "ECU medals" like this Lelystad piece occupied a peculiar commercial niche in the early 1990s, sold as collectibles while borrowing the credibility of a quasi-official denomination that didn't technically exist in coin form.
Lelystad, the city commemorated here, was built entirely on reclaimed land — the Flevopolder drained between 1950 and 1968, making it one of the youngest provincial capitals in the world.
