| Comments |
The "Muntbiljet" — coin note — was a Dutch instrument with a specific legal standing: it circulated as a substitute for coin, not as a bank obligation. The Ministry of Finance issued these directly rather than through De Nederlandsche Bank, a distinction that mattered to the Dutch public and to creditors. A 500 Gulden denomination in this format is exceptional; most surviving Muntbiljetten of the series are lower values.
The 1945 print date places this note in the final weeks of German occupation. Whether it reached circulation before liberation on 5 May 1945 is genuinely uncertain.
