After the money purification, all bills had been replaced by new money, only there was still no possibility to mint new silver coins due to scarcity. Therefore, when Queen Juliana ascended the throne, new coin bills were designed to replace the old bills featuring Wilhelmina. The design of the new coin bills had an image of the new queen surrounded by twice the letter "J," standing for Juliana. The new bills were signed by Finance Minister Pieter Lieftinck, who was also responsible for the July and September 1945 money purge. In addition to the guilder, there is also the:
– Two and a half guilder coin bill 1949 Juliana.
The one-guilder coin bill featuring Juliana slowly disappeared from circulation in the mid-1950s when the new silver guilders came into circulation.

Specimen banknotes Netherlands
Specimen banknotes are real banknotes that have been invalidated in the printing process. There are often several reasons for this. Specimen banknotes were often sent as sample bills to various banks so that staff could see what the new bills looked like and what the security features were. Also, specimen bills were often used as a test bill so that the client could inform the printing company about the quality of the bill and whether the bill could then actually be printed in larger numbers.
Because the numbers of specimen notes associated with a design are often much smaller than the regular bills of the design, the different types of specimen bills are not included in every catalog. Except in the Plomp catalog, which describes virtually every specimen bill of the Netherlands. Because specimen bills were not intended for circulation, they were eventually sent back to the printer or destroyed, and only a small portion remains today.
