Dutch World War II Fuel Coupons and Order Form

Netherlands · 1940 · Non-monetary (fuel units)

This item consists of a 'Bestelformulier' (order form) and an unbroken sheet of 'brandstofbonnen' (fuel coupons) from the Netherlands. The coupons feature codes like 'TA 707' and 'TA 806' and a distinctive logo of three figures carrying coal sacks, forming the letters 'L A D'.

Issued in the Netherlands during the 1940s, these fuel coupons were an essential part of the wartime rationing system, controlling the distribution of scarce resources like coal and other fuels for heating and families during or immediately after World War II.
