History

This note belongs to the 1980 series issued by Bank Indonesia, which remained in circulation until the 1992 series replaced it. The series featured Indonesian national heroes and important cultural landmarks. The 1000 rupiah denomination was a mid-range note during this period. Printed by Perum Percetakan Uang RI (the Indonesian state mint), these notes featured traditional security elements including watermarks, security threads, and intricate guilloche patterns. The series was eventually demonetized as Indonesia modernized its currency designs in the 1990s.
