This is a fantasy note — no such institution exists or existed in 2016, and "Bank van Nederlands Oost Indië" is a fabricated name evoking the Dutch colonial banking apparatus in the East Indies, which was formally wound down decades earlier. Franck Medina is a French designer known for producing collector-oriented fantasy issues, typically in small numbered runs, with no legal tender status in any jurisdiction.
Polymer substrate on a piece like this is a design choice, not a monetary one. Purely a collector artifact.
