Interesting fact
The 10 Sen 1962 coin from Irian Jaya (Indonesian States) made of Aluminium weighing 1.7 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of transition for Indonesia. In 1962, the country was still in the process of gaining independence from the Dutch, and the coin's design reflects this history. The obverse side features the Indonesian national emblem, while the reverse side shows a stylized image of a rice paddy, symbolizing the country's agricultural heritage. This coin is a tangible reminder of Indonesia's journey towards self-determination and its efforts to establish a strong national identity.
