The signature pairing of Robertson and Meinoud Rost van Toningen on the 1941 and 1942 dates is the detail that separates a routine high-denomination note from a politically charged one. Rost van Toningen was an ardent Dutch National Socialist appointed to De Nederlandsche Bank under German occupation, and his name on circulating currency was a deliberate assertion of collaborationist authority over the Dutch financial system.
The shift in signature placement between the April 1941 and January 1942 dates — center-back to upper-left and lower-right — reflects a discrete layout revision mid-run, not a new plate. Lion Cachet's design had been in continuous production at Enschedé since 1930 without fundamental change.
