Among the auction's top notes is a Netherlands 1972 Nederlandsche Bank 1,000 Gulden graded PMG 67 Superb Gem Uncirculated EPQ (lot 651). This striking example of Dutch currency from the final decades of the guilder era represented a substantial sum at the time and was primarily intended for larger transactions and financial use rather than everyday purchases. As one of the higher-denomination notes of the period, examples from the 1972 series offer collectors a fascinating look at the Netherlands’ monetary history. There are currently 370 examples of this note in the PMG Population Report with only a handful graded higher.
