| Opmerkingen |
The 2½ Gulden denomination has an oddly persistent place in Dutch colonial finance — the fractional value was genuinely useful in a circulation environment where coin shortages were chronic and small-denomination paper filled the gap left by hoarded silver. This particular note was issued by the government treasury rather than the Javasche Bank, a meaningful distinction: it reflects the colonial administration's direct intervention in everyday liquidity rather than a central banking decision.
De Bussy was primarily an Amsterdam publishing and printing house, not a specialist security printer — an unusual choice for fiduciary paper, though not without precedent in this series.
