Tjideng was one of the most overcrowded Japanese civilian internment camps in occupied Batavia, holding Dutch and Dutch-colonial women and children under conditions that worsened sharply after Kenichi Sonei took command in 1944. Camp canteen scrip like this note functioned within a closed internal economy — prisoners could spend it only within the camp's own toko, a canteen that supplied whatever goods the Japanese administration permitted to be sold, at prices the prisoners had no power to contest.

Wijktoko scrip was never redeemable outside the wire. After liberation in August 1945, it was worthless. Survivors rarely kept it.
