There is no legitimate banknote issuer called "Etat de Indiana" — Indiana is a U.S. state and has never issued its own currency. This is almost certainly a novelty or fantasy note, a category that proliferated in the early 2000s as souvenir and educational items, frequently designed to resemble historical French colonial or territorial scrip without any genuine monetary authority behind them.
