10 New Rupiah Black print

This note belongs to Indonesia's first independent currency series, issued while the country was still negotiating the terms of Dutch recognition — the Round Table Conference that formally transferred sovereignty concluded in December 1949, meaning some of these notes circulated under genuinely uncertain political conditions.

The "black print" designation distinguishes it from color variants in the same Pick series, a distinction that matters for attribution but is easy to overlook given how similar the types appear in worn condition.
