Description: 1968 Netherlands 10 Gulden (Guilder) Banknote – Pick Catalog 91a – Portraying artist Frans Hals and designed by Rinus Halsema - Dutch Paper Money - Redeemable This 1968 10-guilder note from the Netherlands embodies a unique period in currency design, where innovation met sophistication to create something that continues to impress today. Designed by Rinus Halsema, a renowned Dutch graphic artist known for his pioneering work in banknote design, this note captures a break from the norm, signaling a progressive shift in currency design aesthetics during its era. The note is redeemable for 4.54 euro (about $4.80 U.S. dollars as of 14 Nov 2024) by filling out a form and mailing to the Dutch central bank (DNB) through the end of 2031. Design Details On the front, you’ll find a compelling portrayal of Frans Hals, an artist known for his expressive, realistic portraits that transformed portraiture in the 17th century. Halsema brings Hals’s legacy to life with a stylized and modern interpretation, giving the note a timeless appeal that feels as relevant today as it did at its inception. Turning to the reverse side, abstract geometric patterns provide an eye-catching complement to the note’s central theme. These patterns were groundbreaking at the time, aligning with a mid-century design ethos that valued both clarity and boldness—a signature touch by Halsema, who was known for his modernist leanings in currency art.Condition and Exact Details This note is estimated to be in extra fine condition, maintaining all the precision and vibrancy of its original print. The photos provided depict exactly the note you will receive, so please refer to them to appreciate its quality and authenticity fully.Why This Note Stands Out Whether you’re intrigued by the Netherlands' cultural heritage, mid-century design, or the evolution of modernist banknote art, this 10-guilder note offers an outstanding example of all three. It demonstrates how traditional themes and cutting-edge design principles merged in Dutch currency—a rare find that speaks to both historical appreciation and artistic discernment.
