Opmerkingen	Takayama Prefecture had one of the shortest administrative lives of any Meiji-era jurisdiction — established in 1868, it was absorbed into Chikuma Prefecture in 1871. This 2 Shu note was issued within that narrow three-year window, during the chaotic early phase of Meiji currency reform when dozens of short-lived prefectural governments were authorized to issue their own paper scrip as the new central monetary framework was still being constructed. The JNDA 10-29 designation places it within the broader category of Meiji prefectural hansatsu-type issues. Survival rate for Takayama Prefecture notes is low simply because the issuing authority ceased to exist so quickly after issue.
