Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Rupiah coin from Indonesia, minted in 1970, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins in the series. The obverse side of the coin depicts the profile of a young woman wearing a traditional Indonesian headdress, known as a "selendang," which is a rare sight on Indonesian coins. This design was only used for a brief period in the early 1970s before being replaced by a more conventional portrait of Sukarno, the country's first president. This coin is a rare and interesting collector's item for numismatists and those interested in Indonesian history and culture.
