The "Zeeuws Meisje" nickname derives from the regional costume of Zeeland, and the design is the work of R.N. Roland Holst — one of the most respected figures in Dutch applied arts of the period, better known for monumental murals and socialist poster work than for banknote engraving. His involvement gave the series an aesthetic weight unusual for circulation currency.
Two signature combinations appear across the issue's lifespan, with Vissering giving way to Trip in 1932. The serial number prefix repeated in the lower left and upper right margins on the back was a Dutch anti-counterfeiting measure specific to this printer's output — easy to miss, but immediately telling on fakes.
