100 Kyats

The State Bank of Burma's 1945 series was issued under the British Military Administration following the Allied reoccupation of Burma from Japanese forces. The preceding Japanese occupation had flooded the country with military scrip — the so-called "banana money" — which had depreciated catastrophically by 1945, and the BMA notes were introduced partly to displace that currency and restore some semblance of monetary order.

P#22 was printed by Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. in England, though the notes entered circulation in a country still physically devastated and economically fragmented by three years of occupation and the brutal fighting of the Burma Campaign.
