- Bergkamp Banknote: Royal Joh. Enschede created an unofficial banknote to commemorate Dennis Bergkamp's 1998 World Cup goal.
- Limited Availability: The commemorative Bergkamp banknote, featuring an image of the footballer, is available for purchase with a limited 25,000 in paper and 10 in gold leaf editions.
- Unreliable Sales: The online store selling the banknotes has issues, including allowing purchase of more than the limited edition.
Dutch printing company Royal Joh. Enschede have produced a banknote to immortalize former footballer Dennis Bergkamp's iconic goal during the 1998 World Cup quarter-final against Argentina.
Dennis Bergkamp was gifted the gold version of the unofficial banknote last Sunday
You can not pay with it - it's not an official banknote
First and foremost, Bergkamp's banknote is not an official means of payment. You can not pay with it.
The Bergkamp banknote has been produced by Royal Joh. Enschede, who also produce the official Euro banknotes in the Netherlands.
Dutch Printing Company Honors Dennis Bergkamp's World Cup Goal with Banknote
The Bergkamp note, which features an image of Bergkamp and the full commentary by Jack van Gelder, is available for purchase for €24.95. The company has made 25,000 notes in total.
In addition to the regular notes, 10 notes are printed on paper made of 23-carat gold leaf. These retail at 999 Euro.
Bergkamp was presented with his personal "zero" numbered gold banknote at the Masters Expo 2023 in Amsterdam last weekend.
The reason for Bergkamp having a banknote is mainly marketing, but it is a great one. Bergkamp will release his autobiography soon.
Nike and Simon Banknote - 2022
It is the second time that Royal Joh. Enschede bring out a banknote for a celebrity. In 2022, the same company also produced a banknote for Nick and Simon, a Dutch singer-songwriter duo.
It is unfortunate that the online store of "The Global Note B.V.", which sells the banknotes, is buggy. You can place an order for as many Bergkamp banknotes as you desire - even for the limited-edition version, of which only 10 should exist... we advise against making a purchase from this store, therefore.
