| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is executed in monochrome olive-grey tones as an unfinished trial design, with a large central circular guilloche medallion enclosing a six-pointed star bearing the interlaced "JB" bank monogram, flanked by symbolic tool-and-pen devices. Four blank rectangular panels at the left, right, top centre, and bottom centre are reserved for text or serial number insertion, while two diamond-shaped lozenges at the lower corners each carry the numeral "50", the entire layout reflecting a preparatory proof state with all lettering fields left void. |

De Javasche Bank operated as the central bank of the Dutch East Indies from 1828 onward, and by 1908 its notes were the dominant circulating currency across the archipelago. The bank held a renewable concession from the colonial government — a privilege periodically contested in the Volksraad — and its notes were legal tender by that arrangement rather than by any standing monetary law.
The P#62B designation places this within a series where signature varieties distinguish sub-types, meaning the physical note is effectively identical across the group but catalogued separately on the basis of signing authority alone. Worth confirming which director combination appears before attributing the variant.
