[ATTACH=full]951587[/ATTACH] Here is a three-guilder from 1820. I never acquired one, because I decided to ditch Dutch and start collecting Ancients. But I have a catalog of Schulman, issued by the grandfather of Jacques, the founder of the dynasty, Jacob Schulman (1849-1913). [URL='http://wiki.muntenenpapiergeld.nl/index.php?title=Schulman']This is an article[/URL], in Dutch, but you can easily translate it with Google Translate.
