Own a beautiful piece of Indonesian monetary history, the 1959 "Bunga" (Flower) Series 5 Rupiah note, issued by Bank Indonesia and printed by the renowned security printer Thomas De La Rue & Co (TDLR), London. This rare piece of vintage paper money makes a striking addition to any vintage decor collection or curated display.

This note stands out for its smaller-than-usual size (125 x 65 mm) and its delicate botanical design. The obverse features a striking Yellow Flower (Epiphyllum oxypetalum), the rare "queen of the night" cactus flower set against a soft bluish-green background. The reverse showcases a charming pair of Magpie Robins framed by native Indonesian floral patterns along the border. A watermark of the Indonesian national emblem (Garuda Pancasila / Coat of Arms) adds an extra layer of authenticity and craftsmanship.

Condition: UNC (Uncirculated), crisp and free from circulation marks. As with many vintage notes of this age, faint foxing may occasionally be present due to natural aging.
