By 1950, De Javasche Bank was operating on borrowed time. Indonesian independence had been formally recognized by the Netherlands in December 1949, and the bank's function as a colonial central bank was already being wound down — it would be nationalized and reconstituted as Bank Indonesia in 1953. Notes of this issue circulated during that awkward interregnum, legally valid but institutionally orphaned.
Enschedé's Haarlem presswork is characteristically fine, though the real curatorial point here is provenance: this is among the last series to carry the Javasche Bank name before the Indonesian government absorbed its functions entirely.
