| Comments |
Printed in occupied Haarlem during 1943–44, this note was produced under German occupation — a remarkable fact given that Enschedé was simultaneously involved in clandestine work for the Dutch resistance, including printing false identity documents. The bank continued issuing notes under occupation, though the Germans controlled the monetary policy that made them increasingly hollow instruments.
The "Little Princess" nickname refers to the small female portrait, a long-running affectionate convention in Dutch popular identification of the series. P#60 is the second variety bearing that designation, distinguished by signature combinations from the previous issue.
