The upper legend reads KONINKRIJK DER NEDERLANDEN, arcing along the rim, while the denomination 25 ECU is inscribed along the lower rim, both flanked by a ring of twelve European Community stars. |

The ECU was never legal tender in the Netherlands — it existed as a parallel unit of account used within the European Monetary System from 1979, and Dutch commemorative ECU issues occupied an odd institutional space: official enough to carry royal authority, unofficial enough to be ignored by the central bank's circulation mandate. The 1996 Vermeer issue was released as part of a broader European cultural series timed to coincide with the major Vermeer retrospective held jointly at the Mauritshuis in The Hague and the National Gallery of Art in Washington — the largest gathering of his surviving works ever assembled.
Fewer than 36 known paintings are firmly attributed to Vermeer today.
