De Curaçaosche Bank was the sole currency-issuing institution for the Netherlands Antilles during this period, and this 1948 note was printed at Enschedé in Haarlem under conditions of restored peacetime production — the firm had operated under German occupation during the war and resumed international printing contracts only after 1945. The Gulden at this point remained formally pegged to the Dutch Guilder, a relationship that would persist until the Antillean Guilder was established as a distinct currency in 1952.
Enschedé's intaglio work on this series is technically accomplished, as expected from a house printing Dutch currency since 1814.
