Netherlands Indies 1930 "Coen" 10 Gulden — PMG 30 Very Fine | Rare Vintage Paper Money

A historic piece of vintage paper money from the Dutch colonial era, issued by De Javasche Bank as part of the iconic 1930 series. Famously nicknamed the "Coen" type after the portrait of Jan Pieterszoon Coen, founder of Batavia (present-day Jakarta) and one of the most consequential and controversial figures in Dutch East Indies history.

This series is highly regarded among collectors for its bold Art Deco-inspired engraving, intricate guilloche patterns, and historical weight — issued during the final years of pre-war stability before the region's economy and currency were upended by occupation and revolution.
