| Comments |
The "Grietje Seel" series takes its popular name from the female portrait on the face, engraved in the tradition of the Enschedé firm, which had printed Dutch banknotes since the eighteenth century. The 200 Gulden was the highest denomination in the series and saw comparatively limited day-to-day use — large-denomination Dutch notes of this period circulated primarily in commercial and interbank transactions, rarely passing through ordinary retail hands.
The printing date of 30 April 1945 is the detail that arrests attention. That was the final day of German occupation in most of the Netherlands — Liberation was already underway. Notes printed that day almost certainly never entered normal circulation.
