| Comments |
Enschedé had been printing for the Nederlandsche Bank almost from the institution's founding in 1814, and this long-running 100 Gulden issue reflects the period before the Bank gained exclusive note-issuing rights in the Netherlands — competing provincial banks were still operating through much of this run. The relationship between Enschedé and the Bank was unusually close, with the Haarlem firm holding considerable influence over both design and security decisions at a time when standardized anti-forgery protocols barely existed in Dutch banking.
Surviving examples from the early part of the range are substantially rarer than later dates.
