The Bank of Chōsen — Korea's colonial central bank, established by Japan in 1909 to replace the Dai-Ichi Bank's note-issuing function — began circulating fractional sen notes partly to address the chronic shortage of small coinage in the peninsula. The 10 Sen note filled a gap that metal currency couldn't reliably cover given the logistical demands of supplying a colonial territory during wartime economic strain.
Printed by the Japanese Government Printing Bureau in Tokyo, the notes were produced to tight metropolitan standards. TBB#408 covers the full five-year window of this type, meaning date variants within the series require careful verification against the Japanese Imperial year notation printed on each note.
