| Additional information |
Jesurun & Co. was a Curaçao-based trading house operating within the island's Sephardic Jewish merchant community, which had maintained commercial dominance in the Dutch Antilles since the seventeenth century. Private token issues like this one filled a chronic small-denomination gap that the Dutch colonial monetary supply consistently failed to address in the Caribbean territories.
KM#Tn1 designation places this squarely as a merchant token rather than an official issue — redeemable at the company's premises, not legal tender beyond it.
