During the second world war silver and indeed all metals were scarce
due
to the war
and the manufacturing of armaments. This and the
uncertainty all Wars create led to hoarding
which exacerbated the shortage of coins in circulation which made making coins expensive and in some cases impossible. The solution was to produce these uniface small sized notes to fill the coin / metal shortage.
These notes were used as coin and were thus used frequently in day to day purchases and were thus heavily circulated. And so today they are very scarce in uncirculated grades. Add to this the tropical climates where many of these notes were issued does not help with their preservation
