Oxenaar's first commission for De Nederlandsche Bank, this note marked a deliberate break from the stiff, classical engraving tradition that had defined Dutch banknote design for generations. Enschedé had printed DNB notes continuously since the nineteenth century, but the decision to hand both design and engraving responsibilities to a single graphic artist — rather than splitting them between a designer and a professional banknote engraver — was genuinely unusual for the period.
The series earned the "Vondel I" designation retrospectively, once Oxenaar produced a second 5 Gulden note in 1973, distinguishing the two issues.
