Japan's 1871 New Currency Regulations had just decimalized the monetary system when the government turned to American bank note firms for its early paper issues. The Continental Bank Note Company, then a serious competitor to American Bank Note before the 1879 merger that absorbed it, produced this note in New York — a foreign-printed government obligation at a moment when Japan had no domestic facility capable of matching the intaglio security standards required.
The reliance on American printers for sovereign currency was a calculated short-term measure. The government's own printing bureau, the Shishū-sha, would not reach sufficient technical capacity until later in the decade.
