25 Gulden

This 1827 note predates the formal establishment of the Netherlands Antilles by well over a century — Curaçao at this date operated under its own colonial financial arrangements, and paper currency circulated alongside Spanish colonial coinage that remained the practical medium of trade throughout the island. The gulden denomination was an administrative imposition on an economy that thought in reales and pesos.

Plomp's cataloging of this series reflects just how few specimens are documented. Early Curaçao paper is among the rarest Dutch colonial material in existence, with most issues having perished in the island's climate.
