Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Rupiah coin from Indonesia, minted in 1970, was designed by the renowned Indonesian artist, Basuki Abdullah. Abdullah was known for his contributions to Indonesian art and culture, and his design for the Pattern 1 Rupiah coin features a stylized image of a rice paddy, symbolizing the country's agricultural heritage and abundance. The coin's design also includes the country's national emblem, the Garuda Pancasila, on the obverse side, and the coin's denomination and year of minting on the reverse side. The use of brass as the coin's material adds to its unique character and historical significance, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists and enthusiasts of Indonesian culture.
