| 背面描述 | The reverse is dominated by a bold symmetrical Art Nouveau-style design of sweeping stylised lotus leaves rendered in red and green, with the interlaced "JB" monogram of De Javasche Bank at centre top. The denomination numeral "5" appears at upper right and lower left within guilloche panels, all set against a fine geometric guilloche background. Four text panels carry anti-counterfeiting warnings in Dutch, Malay, Javanese script, and Chinese, positioned at the four corners of the note. |

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.
