The Dutch government introduced these silver vouchers in August 1914 as an emergency measure when the outbreak of war caused an immediate hoarding crisis — silver coin vanished from circulation within days. The Ministry of Finance authorized this paper substitute to fill the gap left by disappearing specie, backed by silver reserves but issued in lieu of coin rather than through De Nederlandsche Bank's normal note channels, which is why it carries a Finance Ministry imprimatur rather than a central bank one.
The print run of over twelve million was substantial for such a compact emergency instrument, reflecting how severe the coin shortage became in those first weeks of the war.
