| Comments |
The 60 Gulden denomination is an oddity by any standard — not a round figure, not a convenient multiple, and largely absent from the banknote-issuing traditions of comparable European central banks of the period. Its existence reflects the Dutch monetary system's lingering ties to older accounting conventions, where 60 guilders corresponded to specific commercial settlement values rather than arbitrary decimal logic.
Enschedé had printed for the Nederlandsche Bank from its earliest years, and the relationship was essentially exclusive for much of the nineteenth century. Surviving examples from this long-running series are genuinely scarce; the Bank's own redemption and destruction practices were thorough.
