| Comments |
The Nederlandsche Bank's earliest Pick-listed notes, these gulden coin notes took their informal name from their explicit backing by specific silver coinage held in reserve — a design philosophy rooted in the Dutch public's persistent distrust of unbacked paper following the financial turbulence of the Napoleonic period. The bank had been refounded in 1814 precisely to stabilize that relationship between paper and metal.
Over a fourteen-year run, 12,175,000 were printed — a substantial volume that nonetheless leaves relatively few survivors today, as worn examples were systematically withdrawn and destroyed per the bank's strict redemption policy throughout the 1890s.
