| Opmerkingen |
The August 1914 mobilization forced De Nederlandsche Bank into a position it had not anticipated: gold reserves were under immediate pressure as the public converted paper into coin at a frantic pace. These auxiliary notes — hulpbiljetten — were authorized under emergency wartime legislation and rushed into circulation within days of the German invasion of Belgium. The 300 Gulden denomination was the highest in the auxiliary series, aimed squarely at commercial and interbank transactions rather than retail use.
Production was handled internally in Amsterdam under considerable speed. Surviving examples frequently show uneven ink distribution consistent with hasty presswork.
