In 1938, the Netherlands issued a series of Zilverbon (Silver Certificate) gulden notes, specifically 1-gulden and 2½-gulden denominations. These notes were part of the broader effort by the Dutch government to ensure public trust in paper money during times of economic uncertainty and international tension leading up to World War II.

Zilverbonnen were unique among Dutch currency because they were guaranteed by silver—the bearer could, in theory, exchange them for silver coinage at the central bank. This was an important feature during an era when many people still associated economic stability with precious metals.
