Gemeente Schiedam, 1 gulden

Showpiece

Municipality of Schiedam (Province of Zuid Holland)

During the first few days of the war a shortage of guilders and rijksdaalders (2.5 guilders) posed a threat in Schiedam. The district council had emergency money printed and, deviating from the general trend, called the notes zilverbon. The zilverbons were issued for two days. On 18 May it was announced that the authorization had been withdrawn. The distribution was then discontinued. Initially the deadline for handing in the bons was set for 1 July 1940 but the district council did not adhere to this so as not to disadvantage people. Bons handed in later were also refunded.
