| Reverse description | Brown and red intaglio-printed reverse dominated by a large stylized bird with spread wings facing left at centre, flanked by two circular medallions bearing the numeral 100 and set against an intricate symmetrical underprint. A prominent guilloche rosette in red occupies the right portion of the note, with the interlaced DNB monogram cipher at the centre of the bird vignette. Fine ornamental border work and repetitive geometric patterns fill the field throughout. |

Doeve was primarily a political cartoonist — his regular work appeared in the weekly Elseviers Weekblad — which made his selection as designer for this note an unusual choice. The Nederlandsche Bank commissioned him directly, and his draftsmanship shows: the engravers at Enschedé had a genuinely strong design to work from, rather than the committee-softened artwork that often reached the press.
The 100 Gulden Erasmus circulated for over two decades before being withdrawn in 1974, long enough that heavily worn examples are common. Enschedé had printed Dutch banknotes since the nineteenth century, so the production was entirely domestic from design through delivery.
