1960 (ND 1964) Indonesia 500 Rupiah "Soekarno" Note — Bank Indonesia

This is one of the most sought-after notes among Indonesian collectors — the classic 500 Rupiah portrait note featuring Soekarno, Indonesia's first president, shown in full military dress with the traditional peci cap. It's a genuine piece of vintage paper money history, printed in 1960 with a No Date (ND) 1964 issue. The reverse is just as striking, showing a pair of finely engraved wayang-style figures in elaborate crowns and headdresses.

This example comes back from PMG at a solid Extremely Fine, with the portrait still crisp and the note holding good original color throughout. Population-wise it's on the tighter side too — PMG has only graded 20 pieces at this exact 40 grade, with 133 in higher grades.
