| Opmerkingen |
The Netherlands Antilles government stepped in as issuer here rather than the Centrale Bank, which wasn't established until 1962 — these coin notes bridged an awkward transitional period in the island territories' monetary administration. The 2½ gulden denomination mirrors the Dutch rijksdaalder tradition, a stubbornly persistent unit that survived decimalisation in various forms across both the metropolitan and overseas territories.
ABNC's engraved intaglio work on this series is characteristically tight. The "coin note" designation itself is telling: these were issued explicitly to substitute for metal coinage at a denomination where coin production was impractical during postwar shortages of suitable metals.
