About this banknote
The 10 sen banknote, cataloged as Pick 31, was issued by the Dutch Government (Netherlands Indies Civil Administration) on December 1, 1947. This issuance aimed to provide small change during the transitional period following World War II, as the region moved towards establishing its own currency system.
The front of the note features a floral design in dark green on a gray underprint, with the denomination "SEPOELOEH SEN" and the date "1 DESEMBER 1947" inscribed. The reverse side, printed in red, displays palm trees flanking a mountain on an island, accompanied by legal texts in both Dutch and Indonesian. Measuring 100 x 60 mm, the note was printed by G. Kolff and Co. without a security thread or watermark.
