| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Dutch heraldic lion rampant occupies the central field, depicted in stylized relief holding a sword aloft in its right paw and a bundle of arrows in its left, rendered in a bold, decorative manner. A ring of twelve stars encircles the inner field, referencing the European Community. The legend KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN arcs along the upper periphery in Latin characters, with the denomination 2 ECU inscribed along the lower rim. The date 1995 appears in the left field beneath the lion. A small mintmark is visible in the lower central field. |

This piece commemorates the 1995 Sail Amsterdam event, which that year carried the additional weight of marking 400 years since the Dutch East India Company's precursor trade routes first connected Amsterdam to Batavia — present-day Jakarta. The VOC connection looms large: Batavia was founded in 1619 by Jan Pieterszoon Coen on the ruins of the Sundanese port of Jayakarta, and remained the commercial nerve center of Dutch colonial trade until Indonesian independence in 1945.
The ECU denomination, though never legal tender in the Netherlands in coin form, was widely used in the early 1990s for commemorative issues ahead of anticipated European monetary union.
