The circular legend KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN arcs across the upper field, with the date 1998 inscribed to the left of the lion and the denomination 25 ECU along the lower rim. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece commemorates Johan Rudolf Thorbecke, the liberal statesman who essentially authored the Dutch constitution of 1848 — the revision that stripped William II of most executive authority and established ministerial responsibility to parliament. The reform happened with unusual speed; facing revolutionary upheaval across Europe, William II famously shifted from conservative to liberal in a single night, giving Thorbecke the opening he needed.
The ECU itself never achieved legal tender status in the Netherlands for everyday commerce; these silver issues were struck as collector pieces within a broader European promotional series tied to the currency union project preceding the euro.
