The 1973 5 Gulden is among the smallest denomination notes De Nederlandsche Bank produced in the postwar period, and it had a short effective life — the note was demonetized relatively quickly as the gulden's purchasing power eroded and the 5-gulden coin took over the denomination entirely by the early 1980s. The Dutch central bank had a deliberate policy of pushing lower denominations back into coinage, and this note was a casualty of that transition.
Printed by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen in Haarlem, the house responsible for virtually all Dutch banknote production of the period. Their intaglio work on this series is technically precise, though the note is not among the firm's more celebrated commissions.
