Ten Guilders 1997 Kingfisher
The ten guilder kingfisher was put into circulation as the last Dutch banknote in 1997. Designed by Jaap Drupsteen, the ten guilder has many graphic modernist shapes in its design. There is also a blue/purple shape next to the watermark that shines when shone on with light, and the back features several shiny flakes. The term kingfisher comes from the kingfisher in the bill's watermark. The ten note is part of the last series of Dutch guilder bills, besides the kingfisher there are also the:
– Twenty-five guilders 1989 Robins;
– Hundred Guilders 1992 Stone Owl;
– One thousand guilders 1994 Kieviet.
By the way, the ten with the kingfisher is the only Dutch banknote that contains the abbreviation (ISO-CODE) of the Dutch guilder, namely 'NLG'. The ten with the kingfisher was finally withdrawn from circulation in 2002 with the introduction of the euro.
