10 Gulden

De Curaçaosche Bank was established in 1828, making it one of the oldest colonial issuing institutions in the Western Hemisphere, but the Pick 9 series came during a period of considerable monetary awkwardness — the Netherlands Antilles gulden had no formal legal separation from the Dutch guilder until 1940, so these notes effectively circulated in a currency that existed in practice before it existed in law.

Enschedé's Haarlem press had been printing Dutch colonial paper since the eighteenth century; their intaglio work for Caribbean issues of this period is technically clean, though the relatively modest denomination meant heavy handling and accelerated wear. Thielen served as bank president while Schotborgh held the role of secretary.
