Oranges banknote

[Pellinore]

Just found a picture of this funny 'banknote' in a collection of printed orange tissue papers (assembled by artist Gertie Jaquet and book designer Harry Sierman). It shows a Dutch thousand guilder banknote that was introduced in 1926 (about the value of a new car in those days), and it says in Dutch "The Sweetest Oranges in the World". Maybe in other orange export countries other banknotes were used. 
Please compare with the original 1000 guilder banknote: the names of the Secretary and the President of the Orange Bank are Spanish!

Good fun advertising. Wikipedia says:

Alzira has historically been a walled town, surrounded by palm, orange and mulberry groves

and

Agriculture was the prime economic driving force in Alzira up to the mid-20th century. The most important produce are oranges and they are distributed by important local co-operatives.

Nothing about the Dutch importers, who, presumably, had this printed.

Wouldn't you think it was printed in Spain? It looks like the designer doesn't quite understand what's what at the banknote.

I have no idea where the wrappers were added. However, the Dutch is correct and there's not a word of Spanish on the wrapper. Obviously, this wrapper is for the Dutch market only and other markets (e.g. Germany, France) would be a lot bigger, so an importer would be far more motivated than an exporter to produce such a complicated wrapper design. All in all, a Dutch printer seems more likely to me. However, I have been wrong before
