| Comments |
The P#28 10 Gulden was authorized under the emergency currency legislation passed in August 1914, as the Netherlands — formally neutral — faced the same financial panic that gripped every European economy in the opening weeks of the war. Gold hoarding and a run on banks prompted De Nederlandsche Bank to issue large quantities rapidly; over twelve million of these notes were printed, an unusually high figure for the period.
Heavy circulation took a toll on survivorship. High-grade examples are considerably harder to locate than the print run suggests.
