Namibia's first banknote series followed independence from South African administration in 1990, with the Namibian dollar introduced in September 1993 to replace the South African rand at par. The Bank of Namibia had only been established in 1990, making this among the newer central bank inaugural issues of the post-Cold War decolonization wave.
Erik Karlsson served as the Bank of Namibia's first Governor, and his signature on P#1 makes this a genuinely inaugural piece. The "Printed: 30.04.1945" date in the source data is almost certainly a cataloging error — 1945 predates Namibia's existence as a concept by decades.
