100 Gulden 1946 — De Javasche Bank Federal Series | Netherlands Indies Currency
This 1946 Federal Series 100 Gulden note is genuinely scarce, rarely surviving in good condition after so many decades. It was the third-largest denomination issued in this series. At the time, 100 Gulden was already a considerable sum, which is exactly why well-preserved examples like these are so hard to come by today.
Front: Rice fields depicted at left, framed within the note's ornate period engraving.
Back: Legal warning text (multilingual), issued under the authority of De Javasche Bank.
Watermark: Geometric pattern woven across the paper.
Each note offered here is an original, hand-checked piece, not a reprint or replica.
