| Obverse description | A stylized globe rendered in relief occupies the central field, depicted from a northward perspective with continental landmasses and meridian lines clearly delineated. Radiating outward from the globe are finely engraved lines interspersed with naturalistic tree motifs, suggesting a landscape or forest border encircling the design. The legend and date appear along the periphery of the coin. The overall composition, designed by Erno Langenberg, conveys themes of international peace and interconnectedness commemorating the 300th anniversary of the Peace of Utrecht. |

| Additional information |
The Peace of Utrecht, signed in 1713, ended the War of the Spanish Succession and reshaped European borders more substantially than any treaty since Westphalia. For the Dutch Republic, the settlement confirmed trading rights and colonial footholds that underwrote Amsterdam's commercial dominance well into the eighteenth century. The Netherlands has marked the tercentenary consistently across multiple collector issues.
KM#326 was struck as a circulation-quality commemorative at face value, making it one of the more accessible entries in the Dutch commemorative silver program of the early 2010s.
