| Comments |
Suriname's 1957 series was printed while the territory still operated as an autonomous country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands — the constitutional arrangement established under the 1954 Charter. Enschedé in Haarlem had handled Dutch colonial and semi-autonomous currency work for decades, and the continuity of that relationship was as much political as logistical.
C.A. Mechel's engraving credit appears on notes from multiple Enschedé-produced series of this period, suggesting he worked as a house engraver rather than as an independent contractor brought in for a specific commission.
