The story

Background & history

This note is part of the 1958 Workers Series (Seri Pekerja), issued by Bank Indonesia during the Guided Democracy period under President Sukarno. The series emphasized themes of labor, agriculture, and infrastructure development as symbols of the young nation's progress. Printed domestically by Pertjetakan Kebajoran (Kebajoran Press), these notes circulated until they were replaced during the 1965 currency reform that addressed inflation. The 100 rupiah denomination was a mid-range value in everyday commerce during this period.
