Where & when
What's on the note
Front: Royal coat of arms of the Netherlands featuring two lions as supporters, a crowned shield with the royal arms, and the motto 'JE MAINTIENDRAI' (I will maintain). The design displays 'EEN GULDEN' (One Guilder) in decorative medallions at left and right. The text references Dutch criminal code articles 208 and 209 concerning counterfeiting. This note represents emergency or occupation-era currency printed by the American Bank Note Company, likely for use during World War II or the immediate postwar period.
Back: Cross of Lorraine (Croix de Lorraine), the symbol of Free France and the French Resistance during World War II, positioned centrally above a stylized deer head with antlers. The text 'BON DE CAISSE' (Treasury Note) appears at top, with 'TRÉSOR 50 CENTIMES NOUMÉA' in a box at right, and 'Émis le 5 JANVIER 1943' (Issued 5 January 1943) at bottom. Article 138 of the French Penal Code regarding counterfeiting is cited on the left. Decorative floral and leaf motifs frame the design. This reverse indicates New Caledonia wartime emergency currency issued under Free French authority.

Background & history
🎉 Commemorating Free French Forces / French Resistance currency.
This is a mismatched pair of banknote images. The front shows a Dutch 1 Gulden note with the Netherlands royal coat of arms and the motto 'JE MAINTIENDRAI,' printed by the American Bank Note Company with references to Dutch criminal code articles 208 and 209. The reverse shows a French colonial treasury note ('Bon de Caisse') for 50 centimes from Nouméa, New Caledonia, issued 5 January 1943 under Free French authority, featuring the Cross of Lorraine. During World War II, both occupied Netherlands and Free French territories issued emergency currencies, often printed by American firms. However, these two sides do not belong to the same banknote—the Dutch guilder front and the New Caledonian centime back represent different issuing authorities, denominations, and purposes. The condition appears poor with visible staining, creasing, and possible water damage on both pieces.
