The story

Background & history

This note belongs to the 1964 series issued by Bank Indonesia during the Sukarno era, a period of economic instability and inflation. The series featured scenes of traditional Indonesian life, agriculture, and culture, emphasizing national identity and indigenous heritage following independence. The rupiah underwent significant devaluation during this period, leading to currency reform in 1965-1966. This series was replaced by the 1968 series following the transition to the New Order government under Suharto. The notes were printed domestically at Perum Perjetakan Kebajoran in Jakarta.
