This listing is for the photographed 1942 Occupied Dutch Indies 1 Cent note, issued by the Japanese Government during WW2. This note was issued with a 2-letter block number, differentiating it from other similar notes. Extremely Fine (XF) Grade/Condition. Great piece of history, a must have for any collection! P#119a (Pick Number 119a).
During World War II, Japan invaded the Netherlands Indies (modern-day Indonesia) in early 1942 as part of its broader campaign to secure resources and strategic territory in Southeast Asia. The Japanese occupation lasted from 1942 to 1945 and had profound effects on the Netherlands Indies. They dismantled Dutch colonial structures, established military rule, and attempted to suppress Dutch and Western influence. During their occupation, the Japanese issued their own currency in the Netherlands Indies to replace the Dutch gulden. These banknotes, often referred to as "Japanese occupation money," were introduced to assert control over the economy and facilitate transactions under Japanese administration. After the war, the currency was rendered obsolete, and the newly declared Republic of Indonesia eventually established its own monetary system.
