The twenty-five guilders featuring Christiaan Huygens is part of the series of banknotes designed by Eppo Doeve in the 1950s as the first official legacy series. The obverse shows astronomer Christiaan Huygens and the background shows an image of his country house (Hofwijck) in Voorburg. Some guilloche patterns can be seen on the eighth side, and the signatures on the bill are of DNB President Holtrop and DNB Secretary de Jong. In addition to the twenty-five guilder Huygens bill, the following bills are also among the series of legacy notes from the 1950s:
1. 10 guilder Hugo de Groot
2. 20 guilders Boerhave
3. 100 guilders Erasmus;
4. 1000 guilders Rembrandt
The twenty-five guilder Huygens bill was finally withdrawn from circulation in 1978.
