The highest denomination in Dutch circulation before the guilder was retired in favour of the euro, this note was withdrawn from legal tender on 1 January 2002 along with the rest of the guilder series. De Nederlandsche Bank continues to redeem it at fixed rate indefinitely, but very few returned — high-value notes from this period were heavily hoarded as physical stores of wealth during the transition.
Jaap Drupsteen's design for this series broke decisively from the portraiture tradition, using abstract geometric and natural imagery instead. The hologram strip, relatively novel in Dutch currency at the time of issue, was among the more sophisticated anti-counterfeiting measures then in civilian circulation.
