About this banknote
The "Nederland Muntbiljet" 2½ gulden banknote was issued by the Government of the Netherlands in 1949. This series was introduced following World War II during a period of economic adjustment and recovery. The note was part of efforts to stabilize the Dutch currency, with financial reforms led by Finance Minister Pieter Lieftinck, whose signature appears on the note.
The front side design features a portrait of Juliana of the Netherlands, emphasizing the royal connection after the war. The intricate guilloche patterns and inscriptions "NEDERLAND MUNTBILJET" underscore its official status. The back showcases complex geometric patterns, with the denomination prominently displayed. This note, measuring 115 x 60 mm, was printed by Royal Joh. Enschedé.
