| Comments |
De Nederlandsche Bank was founded in 1814 by royal decree of Willem I, and this 25 Gulden note belongs to the bank's earliest operational series — a period when the institution was still establishing credibility against a Dutch public that had watched assignats and French-imposed paper money collapse within living memory. Enschedé in Haarlem had been printing for the bank from the outset, a relationship of geographic and institutional convenience that would persist across the entire nineteenth century.
The nearly five-decade date range reflects slow, conservative reissue rather than a single long print run. Individual notes within the series can sometimes be dated by manuscript elements and cashier signatures.
