Comment
1) Coins for Riau were minted with the year 1962, released in late 1963 and withdrawn in 1964.Effectively the coins were legal tender for 9 months only.
2) Coins of Irian Barat had a longer duration of validity from 1962 -1971.
Interesting fact
The 25 Sen coin from Irian Jaya (Indonesian States) made of Aluminium and weighing 2.4 grams is interesting because it was produced during a time of transition for the region. Irian Jaya, also known as West Papua, was a Dutch colony until 1962, when it was annexed by Indonesia. The coin was minted in 1962, likely as a way to introduce the new Indonesian currency to the region. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of this region and its transition from a Dutch colony to an Indonesian province.
