| Comments |
Indonesia's first domestically printed banknotes — this series among them — were produced in Yogyakarta because the Dutch still held Batavia and most of the coast. The Republican government had retreated inland to the Javanese interior following the Dutch return in 1945, and the currency it issued there was a deliberate assertion of administrative function in contested territory. Printing facilities were improvised; the technical quality reflects the circumstances.
Known as ORI — Oeang Republik Indonesia — the series was introduced 30 October 1946, a date still commemorated annually in Indonesia as Hari Keuangan, Finance Day.
