Comments

By 1968, Bank Indonesia had been issuing domestically printed notes for over a decade, but the Kebayoran press was operating under real constraints — limited inking technology, inconsistent paper supply, and no intaglio capability. This series shows it. The flat lithographic printing lacks the tactile depth of contemporary issues from Joh. Enschedé or De La Rue, and collectors should expect color registration inconsistencies across the run, which are a production characteristic rather than an error.

Percetakan Kebayoran closed in 1971, and this note falls near the end of its operational output.
