| Opmerkingen |
The Dutch "muntbiljet" — coin note — was a peculiar instrument: legally a claim on silver coinage rather than a banknote in the conventional sense, issued by the Ministry of Finance rather than a central bank. The Netherlands had no central bank of issue for small-denomination paper at this period; De Nederlandsche Bank held a monopoly on higher-denomination notes, so the Treasury filled the gap with these low-value assignats tied directly to specie.
A print run just over twelve million is substantial for mid-nineteenth-century Netherlands, suggesting aggressive deployment into everyday commerce. Surviving examples in any honest condition are not common — these circulated hard.
