Not a circulating note and never intended to be. Mujand Fantasy Bankbiljetten is a Dutch novelty producer specializing in commemorative and gift notes designed for the collector and souvenir market — these carry no legal tender status and are produced entirely outside any central bank authorization. The "Mata Hari" designation places this in a series of Dutch cultural figures rendered on polymer fantasy issues, timed loosely around the centenary of her 1917 execution in France.
Polymer substrate on a piece like this is a curious choice — more expensive than paper for a non-circulating item, but it photographs well and resists handling damage at point of sale.
