| Opmerkingen |
The 1959 Indonesian series, of which this note is part, was issued following the government's controversial "Sanering" monetary reform of 1959 — a deliberate devaluation policy under Sukarno that cut the value of larger-denomination notes to 10% of face value and froze bank accounts above certain limits. The 50 Rupiah denomination sat below the threshold of the harshest restrictions, which shaped how these notes actually moved through the economy.
Thomas De La Rue's contract for Indonesian currency during this period reflects Jakarta's continued reliance on established European security printers despite the country's strongly nationalist political posture at the time — a practical compromise that outlasted the rhetoric.
