1960 (ND 1964) Indonesia 500 Rupiah "Soekarno" Note — Bank Indonesia, PMG 50 AUNC
This is the classic Soekarno 500 Rupiah — a genuine piece of vintage paper money showing Indonesia's first president in full military uniform with his signature peci cap, and a beautifully detailed pair of royal Javanese figures engraved on the reverse. It doubles as striking vintage home decor for anyone who appreciates history you can actually hang or display.
At About Uncirculated, this note is about as close as most collectors will ever get to seeing it fresh off the press — strong original color, sharp engraving, and only the faintest trace of handling. It's genuinely scarce at this level: PMG has certified just 9 copies at 50, with 112 sitting in higher grades. That's a tight number for a note this popular, putting this piece well above the typical circulated examples that make up most of the market.
