Royal Joh Enschedé Produces Gold Banknote

Royal Joh Enschedé, in collaboration with The Global Note™, has released a gold embellished commemorative banknote in honour of footballer Dennis Bergkamp, which includes an augmented reality (AR) experience provided via mobile app.

Titled the ‘Golden Bergkamp commemorative banknote’, the collectible note celebrates the legendary goal scored by the Dutch footballer during the 1998 World quarter-final match held between the Netherlands and Argentina.

Designed and printed by Royal Joh Enschedé, and made available to purchase from The Global Note, the banknote is laced with 23 carat gold and holds several of the security features typically utilised when printing currency, including microtext. It also delivers augmented reality features and proprietary access to the ‘Dennis Bergkamp Experience’ when using the provided mobile app, allowing users to gain a virtual and visual experience with Bergkamp – who shares stories and experiences from his time as a footballer.
