Front: Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (1880–1962), who reigned from 1890 to 1948.

Back: Circular medallion with ornate guilloché patterns surrounding Queen Wilhelmina's portrait at center.

The story

Background & history

This muntbiljet (coin note) was issued by the Dutch government-in-exile in London on 4 February 1943 during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. Printed by the American Bank Note Company in the United States, these notes were prepared for use after the liberation of the Netherlands. The series was part of the wartime currency preparation and circulated from 1943 to 1945, when post-war currency reforms replaced them. The 'muntbiljet' designation distinguishes these as state treasury notes rather than central bank notes. Serial prefix 'FD' indicates a specific print series within the 1943 issue.
