| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features a bold, stylized rendering of the denomination. The large legend DE NEDER LANDEN arcs across the upper field, flanked by a decorative border of twelve European stars interspersed with ribbons and wave motifs. At center, the large letters ECU dominate the field with a vertical mast and rigging motif superimposed, evoking Dutch maritime heritage. The fractional denomination 2½ appears above the ECU letters, and the date 19 93 is divided across the lower field. The overall design incorporates architectural crenellation elements in the lower register and flowing banner motifs throughout. |

Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater was a 17th-century millwright and hydraulic engineer whose drainage schemes transformed vast tracts of waterlogged Holland into productive farmland — most famously the Beemster polder, completed in 1612 and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. The ECU series issued by the Netherlands in the early 1990s used Dutch historical figures as a vehicle for the currency experiment preceding the euro, with Leeghwater appearing alongside scientists and statesmen rather than monarchs or military figures.
The X# prefix in standard references indicates a non-circulating commemorative struck for the collector market, not legal tender in the conventional sense.
