Description
VERY GOOD Cond - an exceptional, top-tier piece of early 20th-century European history—a vintage 1902 international \"money novelty\" postcard replicating the highly coveted 1901 De Nederlandsche Bank 100 Gulden Bankbiljet (100 Guilder Note).High-denomination novelty cards like the 100 Gulden series are far scarcer than their lower-value counterparts and are heavily pursued by paper currency collectors. The front displays a detailed lithographic replica of the 23 Mei 1901 bank note design featuring the classic central circular vignette of a helmeted Minerva/Hollandia.This specific card was published by the esteemed firm P. J. v. Leeuwen & Zn., Den Haag and boasts phenomenal crossover appeal with extensive French period correspondence on the front and pristine international postal history on the back.Item Details
