| Comments |
De Surinaamsche Bank was a commercial bank operating under Dutch colonial authority, not a central bank in the formal sense — it held the right of note issue in Suriname by concession, a arrangement that persisted well past the point where most colonies had moved toward dedicated central banking institutions. This 1951 date places the note in the early years after Dutch constitutional reforms reorganized the Kingdom of the Netherlands, nominally elevating Suriname from colony to autonomous constituent country in 1954.
De Bussy was a respected Amsterdam printing house with a long history of producing colonial banknotes and official documents, though it never achieved the international profile of Enschedé.
