| 裏面の説明 | Conjoined busts of Christiaan Huygens and Constantijn Huygens facing right, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail including flowing hair and period costume with lace collars. The names '* CHR. HUYGENS * CONST. HUYGENS *' appear as a curved legend around the upper field. The Latin motto 'ADMOVERE OCULIS DISTANTIA SIDERA NOSTRIS' ('They brought the distant stars closer to our eyes') encircles the lower portion of the design. The portraits are executed in a Baroque style befitting the seventeenth-century subjects. |

The 1989 Dutch ECU series was part of a deliberate strategy by the Dutch Mint to position the Netherlands as a leading advocate for European monetary integration ahead of the Maastricht Treaty negotiations. Christiaan Huygens, the 17th-century mathematician and astronomer who discovered Saturn's rings and invented the pendulum clock, was a natural choice for a coin gesturing toward European intellectual unity — he worked extensively in Paris under Louis XIV's patronage while remaining a Dutch subject.
These ECU pieces had no legal tender status for everyday transactions but were recognized as collector currency. X#18.1 denotes the standard strikes; a proof variant was issued in the same year.
