Suriname was still a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1957, and the Centrale Bank van Suriname had only been established four years earlier, in 1957 — the bank's inaugural series. Enschedé, the long-established Haarlem security printer with centuries of experience producing Dutch state documents, was the natural choice for a newly independent monetary authority working within the Dutch institutional orbit.

C.A. Mechel's design credit is relatively rare to encounter explicitly named on Caribbean colonial-era transitional issues, making the attribution here worth noting for researchers tracing Enschedé's mid-century design staff.
