| Comments |
Keresidenan Lampung was one of several residency-level authorities in Sumatra that issued their own emergency currency in 1946, filling the vacuum left by the collapse of Dutch colonial financial infrastructure and the inability of the newly proclaimed Republic to supply sufficient central currency to outlying regions. These notes were printed locally under rudimentary conditions in Tandjungkarang — the administrative capital of Lampung — rather than at any established security press.
Provincial and residency issues from this period are among the most fragile survivors of Indonesian revolutionary-era paper money. The printing materials, ink quality, and paper stock were whatever could be sourced locally, and the notes deteriorated quickly in Sumatra's climate.
