Nederlands Banknote

[Master Jmd]

Ok, I know this is a coin forum, but I think that someone on here will know a thing or two about banknotes.

Question: Can anyone tell me what this actually is and other information about this note?

Side 1

Side 2

Date Close-up

Side 1 reads: DE NEDERLANDS BANK, below that is Betaalt Aan Toonder VIJF EN TWINTIG GULDEN, with a 25G below that (25 Gulden?). Bottom has the signature of what looks like 'Rahunty'(?) with Director below that, and beside it is signed ? President. The letters DNB are to the left of the note (presumably De Nederlands Bank(?)).

Side 2 reads: 1AD with the serial number of 096678 and dated Amsterdam 7 Oct. 1943.

The note is very delicate, and I do not want to try and unfold the creased edges as the note may tare.

The only history that I know behind it is that my Grandad picked it up from a tea shop/café in Holland or Belgium.

I'd have a feeling that in that condition it would probably be worth very little. Although it was made during German occupancy, which is interesting.

I wonder if the national Netherlands bank will exchange it for Euro?? (It's probably too old)

[Master Jmd]

I'm not really after a value, but more of its history and other information about it.

It looks as if its been well used in the Amsterdam cafe's

Nice wee note. Do we have any Dutch Nationals on the board? When I lived in Limburg I tried to collect all sorts of old notes/coins..aiming for some really old ones surrounding the change of borders and gov'ts etc. Never really spent enough time tho.

JMD, I am sure Trantor will be able to help you. He is Dutch.
