| Obverse description | The central inner disc features a stylised human figure whose body transitions fluidly into the euro (€) symbol, symbolising the integration of European citizens within the Economic and Monetary Union. The design conveys the concept of the single currency as a culmination of Europe's long history of trade and economic cooperation. The inscription 'NEDERLAND' appears in the upper portion of the inner disc, with the commemorative legend 'EMU 1999-2009' positioned below, both rendered in raised Latin lettering. The outer ring bears the twelve stars of the European Union arranged in a circle, as prescribed by the common euro area design standard. |

| Reverse description | The inner disc features a cartographic representation of the European continent rendered without national borders, emphasising the unity of the eurozone, with the face value '2 EURO' inscribed to the left of the map in bold raised numerals. The designer's initials 'LL' for Luc Luycx appear in the lower right portion of the inner disc. The outer ring displays the twelve stars of the European Union in relief, uniformly spaced around the circumference, consistent with the standard common reverse design introduced for euro coinage. |
