| Opmerkingen |
This was among the first notes issued under the Convertible Banknote Regulations of 1885, which obligated the Bank of Japan to redeem its paper in silver on demand — a system designed to stabilize a currency that had been badly damaged by the inflationary government notes of the early Meiji period. The Bank of Japan had only been established in 1882, and these first convertible issues were a deliberate assertion of institutional credibility.
The Printing Bureau had been producing government documents and stamps since 1871, and by 1885 was capable of reasonably sophisticated intaglio work without foreign contract printers — a point of some national pride at the time.
