The Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen was established in 1962, the same year this note was issued — making P#6 part of the inaugural series for an institution that had only just replaced the Bank van de Nederlandsche Antillen following the dissolution of various transitional arrangements after the 1954 Statuut voor het Koninkrijk. At 250 Gulden, this was the highest denomination in the founding series, and high-denomination notes from new Caribbean issuing authorities rarely entered heavy circulation; most moved through inter-bank and commercial channels.
Enschedé's involvement guaranteed a technically accomplished product — the Haarlem firm had been printing currency continuously since the early eighteenth century and held longstanding relationships with Dutch colonial and post-colonial monetary authorities throughout this period.
