📄 Description

Original Netherlands 1 Gulden banknote dated 1943, issued during the WWII occupation period.
The note features a female allegorical portrait on the obverse with classic Dutch ornamental design, and the Dutch coat of arms with crowned shield and lions on the reverse.

This example shows honest circulation wear, including:

• Overall paper softening

• Multiple folds 

• Edge wear and light staining consistent with age

• Clear serial numbers and legible design elements

• No major pieces missing

Despite wear, this remains a historically significant wartime banknote, increasingly sought after by collectors of European and WWII-era paper money.
