| Beschrijving voorzijde | A lotus plant vignette in fine intaglio line work — showing bloom, bud, and broad leaves — occupies the left portion of the note against a dense guilloche underprint in red and green. The denomination numeral "5" appears at upper left and within an elaborate rosette at upper right, with a further guilloche medallion at lower right bearing the date 1946. Bilingual central inscriptions in Dutch and Malay are flanked by two manuscript signatures above the titles SECRETARIS and PRESIDENT, with the printer's imprint of Joh. Enschedé en Zonen at lower centre. |

De Javasche Bank's 1946 issues present a peculiar situation: the Netherlands had only just emerged from German occupation, and the bank's Haarlem printer, Joh. Enschedé en Zonen, was resuming colonial currency work under conditions of severe material and logistical constraint. Meanwhile, the colony these notes were intended for was in open revolt — Sukarno had declared Indonesian independence in August 1945, and Dutch authority over Java was already contested by the time this note was printed.
Many notes from this series reached the archipelago during the Dutch military actions of 1947–1949 and circulated in a patchwork of controlled zones. The dual denomination — Gulden and Roepiah — reflects the bank's attempt to straddle two monetary frameworks that were, politically, rapidly diverging.
