| Comments |
De Javasche Bank operated as the Dutch East Indies' central bank under charter from the Netherlands government, with this long series running across a period that included the disruptions of World War One — though Java remained physically insulated from that conflict, supply chain pressures affected the colonial financial system in ways that extended this issue's operational life well beyond original intent.
Enschedé in Haarlem held the bank's printing contract for decades, a relationship built on security printing expertise dating back centuries. Paper quality from this era of Enschedé production is generally consistent, but notes that circulated in tropical conditions are frequently found with brittleness and foxing along the folds.
