| Opmerkingen |
De Javasche Bank was established in 1828 by royal decree from Willem I, making it one of the earliest central banking institutions in Asia. This 1832 copper money note — "kopergeld" denoting its nominal backing in copper coinage rather than silver — reflects the chronic small-denomination currency shortages that plagued the Dutch colonial economy in the Indies throughout the early nineteenth century. The bank struggled from its inception to maintain adequate specie reserves, and paper instruments backed by copper represented a pragmatic, if imperfect, solution.
Surviving examples from this 1832 series are extremely rare; the tropical climate of Java was punishing on paper, and the bank itself periodically recalled and destroyed circulated notes.
