Reverse description	The reverse presents a highly detailed engraving of the Dutch fluyt Zeehaen, the companion vessel of Abel Tasman's 1642 voyage of exploration, depicted underway on a stylised sea with full rigging and multiple masts visible. A flag flies from the mainmast. The legend ABEL TASMAN - ZEEHAEN curves along the upper periphery in bold serif lettering. The mint year 2016 appears to the left of the vessel in the field, while the historic date 1639 — referencing the ship's launch — is inscribed in the lower exergue.
