Pick 27 spans an unusually long issuing window — over five decades — yet the printing date of 30 April 1945 places this specific note at one of the most extraordinary moments in Dutch monetary history. That date is the day Adolf Hitler died in Berlin, and the Netherlands was still under German occupation, with liberation coming only days later in May. Notes printed at this stage were almost certainly never placed into normal circulation; the post-war monetary purge of September 1945, which required all banknotes to be registered and exchanged, effectively neutralized the entire circulating stock.
The 1000-gulden denomination made it an immediate target during that operation — high-value notes were scrutinized most aggressively for wartime black-market origins.
