| Comments |
Imitatie-bankbiljetten — Dutch play money designed to mimic real banknotes — were produced in significant quantities from the mid-twentieth century onward, primarily as props for children's games and educational toys. The 25 Gulden denomination places this within the upper-middle range of typical play sets, mimicking a note in daily circulation rather than a prestige denomination.
No regulatory body formally controlled their design until the Nederlandsche Bank began enforcing stricter anti-counterfeiting guidelines in the 1980s, requiring play money to differ sufficiently from genuine issues in color, text, or overprint.
