Comments

De Javasche Bank was the colonial central bank of the Dutch East Indies, established by royal charter in 1828 and headquartered in Batavia. The Enschedé firm in Haarlem — one of Europe's oldest continuously operating security printers — handled the entire series, with finished notes shipped from the Netherlands to the archipelago for issue. This was routine practice for Dutch colonial currency throughout the period, keeping plate security and production quality firmly under Amsterdam's administrative orbit rather than local control.

The P#70 series ran across a six-year window that included the early tremors of the global commodity price collapse, which would hit the Indies' export economy hard after 1929.
