| Comments |
The Dutch Ministry of Finance issued these small-format gulden notes as a direct substitute for the circulating coin of the same value — hence "munibiljet," the Dutch term for coin-note, a category reserved for denominations too small to justify full banknote issue. Enschedé in Haarlem printed the series, as they have done for Dutch state paper currency with remarkable continuity since the eighteenth century.
Juliana had acceded to the throne only in September 1948 following Wilhelmina's abdication, making this one of the earliest Dutch issues to bear her effigy. The note circulated heavily alongside its metal counterpart and surviving examples in clean condition are harder to find than the catalog suggests.
