| Opmerkingen |
The West-Indische Bank was established by royal decree in 1828 to stabilize credit and currency across the Dutch Caribbean colonies — Suriname principally, but also the Antillean islands. This 250 Gulden note, a high denomination for the colonial economy it served, was printed by Enschedé in Haarlem before being shipped across the Atlantic for issue. The bank's charter was revoked in 1848 after decades of chronic mismanagement and losses that were ultimately absorbed by the Dutch state.
Surviving examples at this denomination are rare. High-value notes circulated in smaller numbers and were more often redeemed, cancelled, or destroyed than their lower counterparts.
