De Curaçaosche Bank was established in 1828 as the sole bank of issue for the Dutch Caribbean colonies, and by the time this series was printed its notes circulated across Curaçao, Aruba, and Bonaire. The timing of this issue — straddling 1918 and 1920 — coincides with the disruption to regional trade caused by the First World War, which forced the bank to maintain tighter control over note supply than in peacetime years.
Enschedé in Haarlem had been the bank's printer since the nineteenth century. The P#7G suffix designation within the series suggests multiple signature varieties or date combinations were catalogued separately, a common complication with Curaçaosche Bank issues of this period.
