| Comments |
Daerah Bodjonegoro was one of dozens of Indonesian regional authorities that issued their own emergency currency during the physical and administrative chaos of the independence struggle against the Dutch. These regional daerah notes were a pragmatic necessity — the nascent Republic lacked the infrastructure to supply adequate currency to every administered territory, so local governments were authorized to fill the gap with their own paper.
Bodjonegoro (now Bojonegoro) is a regency in East Java. Notes from this issuer are among the less commonly traded Indonesian emergency issues, and the 1948 series in particular surfaces infrequently in Western auction records.
