| Comments |
The Dutch coin notes (muntbiljetten) were issued by the Ministry of Finance rather than De Nederlandsche Bank, a distinction with real consequences: they were backed by coin reserves held directly by the state treasury, not by the central bank's assets. This 10 Gulden denomination circulated alongside silver coinage during a period when the Netherlands was firmly on the gold standard, the Muntwet of 1875 having anchored the guilder decades earlier.
Over twelve million printed across three years is a substantial run, yet surviving examples in decent order are harder to find than the numbers suggest — heavy commercial use took a predictable toll on paper of this weight and format.
