Japan's early Meiji government turned to American bank note printers for its first generation of Western-style currency — the Continental Bank Note Company of New York was among several firms engaged during the 1870s as Japan rebuilt its monetary infrastructure following the abolition of the feudal domain notes that had fragmented circulation. This P#10 was part of that transitional program, produced offshore before Japan had developed domestic printing capacity capable of meeting Western intaglio standards.
Continental itself would cease operations by 1878, absorbed into the American Bank Note Company consolidation, making the window for notes bearing their imprint relatively narrow.
