Printed by the American Bank Note Company in New York while the Netherlands Indies was under Japanese occupation, this note was prepared in exile — the Dutch colonial administration had no functioning territory to issue into. The 1943 series was produced in anticipation of Allied liberation, intended to restore a functioning currency once the occupation collapsed.
The denomination is unusually high for a restoration-issue note, reflecting pre-war commercial valuations rather than any post-occupation economic reality. When liberation finally came in 1945, the currency situation was complicated further by the Indonesian independence declaration, leaving notes of this series caught between three competing monetary regimes.
