Dutch Meat Ration Coupon
Netherlands · 1942 · 100 grams meat
A utilitarian coupon featuring Dutch text 'Vleesch distributiebonnen' (Meat ration coupons) and '100 GRAM VLEESCH', along with 'BON 1' and 'BON 2' and a serial number. The design is simple, typical of wartime documents.
These coupons were issued in the Netherlands during World War II to manage the distribution of scarce resources like meat. They represent a significant aspect of wartime austerity and government control over essential goods.
