| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central depiction of the Abduction of Europa, showing the figure of Europa seated and clinging to the back of a bull (Zeus in disguise), rendered in bold relief against a dark field with radiating lines emanating from behind the group, evoking a sunburst. The legend ECU appears in large raised letters across the upper field, and the date 1993 is inscribed in raised numerals along the lower field. A small mintmaster's mark G is present in the exergue area. The composition draws on classical Greek mythology as a symbol of European unity, consistent with the ECU commemorative medal series. |

The ECU was never legal tender in the Netherlands — it existed as a unit of account underpinning the European Monetary System, never circulating as actual currency. The Dutch issued commemorative ECU pieces throughout the late 1980s and early 1990s largely as collector product, capitalizing on European enthusiasm for monetary integration ahead of the Maastricht Treaty, which the Netherlands had signed in February 1992. Gold-plated copper-nickel was the budget tier of this output; silver and gold versions were struck simultaneously for the same market.
