ORI — Oeang Republik Indonesia — was the currency issued by the newly proclaimed republic while the Dutch were actively attempting to reassert colonial control. The fourth series, printed in Jogjakarta under genuinely difficult conditions, reflects that precariousness. Domestic printing capacity was severely limited, and the ORI notes were produced with whatever materials and equipment the republican government could secure in territory it actually held.
The Dutch launched their first "Police Action" in July 1947, and the second in December 1948 — bracketing this note's issuance almost exactly. Jogjakarta itself fell briefly to Dutch forces in late 1948, and large quantities of ORI currency were destroyed or hidden to prevent capture.
