Frank, I'm not sure if this is a quiz, or a regular query. I'm only seeing a small portion of the banknote though, and it would help to have the whole thing, the catalog #... whatever info you can provide.

Its Japanese Pick 53. The Japanese characters in this portion tell of who the printers were but I cannot read much Japanese aprt from the odd number etc

 

The portion that looks like EP I believe means Printer or Printing Business. I was hoping that we'd have a Japanese speaking person on the forum who could enlighten me

 

Cheers

Komori Printing Machinery is one of the Japanese owned companies, with a base outside of London, that prints world banknotes, here are a couple of examples:

 

 

 

And another test note they created for India, but using English pence and inspired design:

 

 

The giveaway that this was for India is the Indian style numerals and letters in the serial.

Franc, the line, that you picture, gives indeed the printing firm, it reads: "produced by the Cabinet Printing Bureau"
