300 Gulden

De Nederlandsche Bank was established by royal decree in 1814, and the 300 Gulden denomination was among the highest values in its early note series — a face value that put it well beyond the reach of ordinary commerce and into the hands of merchants, financiers, and government treasuries. The denomination itself was abolished as the bank rationalized its note ladder across the mid-nineteenth century, making this a relatively short-lived instrument in institutional terms.

Enschedé in Haarlem had been printing for the Dutch state since the eighteenth century, and their involvement here is unsurprising. What is worth noting is the forty-year production window: dating individual notes precisely within the 1814–1854 span requires close attention to signature combinations and manuscript date entries.
