De Curaçaosche Bank was established in 1828 as the sole bank of issue for the Dutch Caribbean colonies, and by the time this note was produced, Haarlem's Enschedé firm had been printing Dutch colonial currency for well over a century. The timing of this issue — straddling 1918 to 1920 — places it squarely in the disruption of transatlantic shipping caused by the First World War, which complicated the movement of printed notes between the Netherlands and Curaçao and almost certainly affected distribution schedules.
Plomp PLNA8.4 is among the scarcer denominations from this short-lived series, with surviving examples relatively few given the low population and limited commercial volume of the island at that time.
