Produced in New York for use by the Dutch government-in-exile, this note belongs to a series prepared in anticipation of liberation — intended to replace the notes circulating under German occupation once Allied forces restored Dutch authority. The "coin note" designation refers to the distinctive circular medallion-style rendering of the portrait, a deliberate design choice that set these exile-issue notes apart from occupation-era paper.
ABNC printed several denominations in this series; the 100 Gulden is the highest value and consequently saw more restricted handling. Repatriation and the postwar currency reforms of 1945 limited how long these notes remained in active use.
