| Opmerkingen |
The Curaçaosche Bank was established in 1828, making it one of the oldest chartered banks in the Caribbean, and it held a near-monopoly on note issuance across the Dutch Antilles for most of the nineteenth century. The 50 Gulden was the highest denomination in the early series — a significant sum given the island's trade-dependent economy — and would have moved primarily between merchants and the colonial administration rather than through ordinary retail exchange.
Enschedé in Haarlem had been printing currency and official documents since the early eighteenth century, and their production quality for this issue was consistent with their broader colonial contract work. The long issue window spanning 1879 to 1914 suggests either slow circulation at this denomination or periodic reissue from standing stock without redesign.
