| Comments |
De Curaçaosche Bank was established in 1828, making it one of the oldest surviving colonial banking institutions in the Americas. By 1958, Curaçao was operating as part of the Netherlands Antilles, a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands formed in 1954 — which is why this note carries no reference to colonial authority. The issuing bank retained its name and function through that constitutional transition without interruption.
Joh. Enschedé en Zonen had printed Netherlands Antilles currency for decades by this point, and the relationship was essentially exclusive. Their Haarlem facility had the security infrastructure — intaglio presses, controlled paper supply, proprietary watermark production — that Caribbean territories could not source closer to home.
