40 Gulden

Pick 30 was issued under the authority granted by the 1814 bank charter and remained part of De Nederlandsche Bank's portfolio for decades, but the April 1945 print date places this specific note in an extraordinary position: it was produced in the final week before Germany's surrender in the Netherlands, during a period when the Dutch economy had been gutted by the Hongerwinter and the banking system was operating under severe occupation constraints.

Notes printed this late were almost certainly never released into general circulation. The liberation came on 5 May 1945, and postwar currency reforms followed quickly enough that stocks of older Gulden notes were largely withdrawn and destroyed rather than distributed.
