Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse presents a detailed depiction of the tall ship Eendracht I, a traditional Dutch sailing vessel rendered in fine relief against a lightly striated sea. The ship is shown in full sail, viewed from the broadside, with rigging and masts rendered in precise detail. The legend SAIL 95 AMSTERDAM curves along the lower portion of the design, identifying the commemorated event. The composition is framed by a plain border, with the overall design reflecting the maritime heritage celebrated at the Sail Amsterdam 1995 event.

Aanvullende informatie

Issued to mark the Sail Amsterdam 1995 maritime festival, this piece belongs to a short-lived series of ECU-denominated collector coins produced by several European mints during the late 1980s and 1990s — a period when the ECU existed as a basket currency unit but never circulated as physical coinage. The Dutch mint was among the more prolific issuers of these semi-official pieces, which occupied an awkward legal space: denominated in a unit with no coin of its own.

The Eendracht referenced here is the 17th-century VOC vessel whose name translates as "unity" — the original ship completed a circumnavigation under Willem Schouten and Jacob Le Maire in 1616.
