De Curaçaosche Bank, founded in 1828, was the sole note-issuing institution for the Dutch Caribbean territories throughout the colonial period. This 1918–1920 issue appeared under wartime conditions that had severely disrupted shipping between Curaçao and the Netherlands, creating practical pressure to maintain adequate currency supply across the islands.

Enschedé in Haarlem handled the full series — a logical choice given their long relationship with Dutch colonial currency work. The P#7E designation places this among several signature or date variants within the type, distinctions that matter considerably to specialists in Netherlands Antilles paper money, where survival rates across the variants are uneven.
