High-denomination rarities from the Netherlands Indies are among hundreds of world notes certified by Paper Money Guaranty® (PMG®) that are being offered in a Heritage Auctions sale. Bidding is underway for the World Paper Money Signature Auction #4052, which is being held on October 17, 2024.

While the auction features several high-denomination Gulden notes from the Dutch colony that became Indonesia (including 200, 300 and 500 Gulden), the 1,000 Gulden note is the highest denomination ever created.
