A rare and beautifully scenic piece of vintage currency from Indonesia's 1953 "Landscape" Series: the 2½ Rupiah note featuring a picturesque coastal scene with tiered cliffs and swaying palm trees on the obverse, a peaceful, tropical snapshot of Indonesia's natural beauty. The reverse showcases the Indonesian Coat of Arms, the Garuda Pancasila, alongside official legal text. This note was printed by the Security Banknote Company (SBNC) and notably carries no watermark, a distinguishing feature of this particular issue.
Measuring 127 x 66 mm, this note is smaller than most standard Indonesian banknotes, adding to its charm as a compact collectible. The 2½ Rupiah denomination within this Landscape series is considered genuinely scarce, making it a valuable addition for collectors chasing rare Indonesian paper money.
Condition: XF/XF+ or better
This note is in excellent, highly collectible condition with minimal signs of circulation and strong original detail. A fantastic find for any numismatic collection. Minor fine foxing may occasionally be present simply due to the note's age, but overall the note remains crisp and highly desirable.
