De Curaçaosche Bank was established in 1828 as the central bank for the Dutch Caribbean territories, and by the 1920s it was issuing notes that served the entire Netherlands Antilles group — not just Curaçao itself. Enschedé in Haarlem had been producing Dutch colonial currency for generations by this point, and their work for this bank was no exception to their usual standard.

The Thielen and Schotborgh signature combination places this note firmly within the late 1920s issues. P#8 is a notably scarce pick from this series; the small population of the territory kept issue volumes low, and tropical humidity is rarely kind to paper.
