| Obverse description | The central vignette presents an aerial view of the Curaçao dry dock harbour, with numerous vessels moored along the quays and industrial facilities visible across the waterfront. To the right, a large ornate guilloche rosette surrounds the numeral "1", rendered in a star-burst pattern with intricate lathe-work. The note is printed in red tones on a fine guilloche underprint, with the serial number appearing twice — once at the left and once at the lower centre — and the minister's facsimile signature positioned at lower left. |

The Muntbiljet ("currency note") designation distinguishes this issue from the centrale bank notes circulating alongside it — in the Netherlands Antilles, low-denomination paper was handled by the government treasury rather than the Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen, a division of responsibility that persisted well into the 1980s. Enschedé in Haarlem had printed Netherlands Antillean notes since the earliest island issues, making this a typical product of that long relationship.
F. J. Tromp served as Minister of Finance for the Netherlands Antilles; his single signature sufficed for treasury obligations of this size, unlike the dual-signature requirement on central bank notes.
