Banknotes of the Brunanter thaler

Brunant has been issuing banknotes since the early 18th century but only since 1868 has the Central Bank officially issued notes.

Series 1987
The 1987 Series was the last series of Thaler notes made in Brunant before the introduction of the Euro. All but the 100 and 500 Th. note were redesigned, and featured modern designs partly based on the previous series. The 100 Th. was issued in 1990; the 500 Th. note was redesigned in 1999 and only issued that year (limited to 5000 notes).

Series 1959
The 1959 series was the first fully bilingual notes. Prior to that, they were in Dutch on the obverse and Dutch-English on the reverse. The 2 Th. note featured a simple design in red, but the other notes had colorful and detailed designs showcasing historical events and people.

Series 1921
The 1921 series (re-issued 1924, 1931 and 1936) is considered by many (experts and public) to be the most beautiful Thaler notes. They were designed by Willem Hartman and featured lots of detail and design. For its age they were very modern and today uncirculated notes are worth over €50 each (for notes of up to 10 Th.)

Series 1871
The 1871 series was the second issue of the Central Bank. These were known as the "red-seal notes". They were issued until 1873.

Series 1868
The 1868 Series was the first definitive issue by the Central Bank. They were printed in 1868 and 1869 and were known as the "blue-seal" notes, since they bore a blue seal of the bank. These notes came in Dutch and English-language issues.

Series 1865
The 1865 banknotes were a design proposed by the Central Bank as the first standard issue. Notes in the amounts of 5 and 10 thalers were printed but ultimately they were never issued. They were ordered destroyed but approximately 900 notes were saved. An original in good (fine) condition can be worth upwards of 1000 Euros. There are many forgeries of these and tourists are fooled into buying these.
