Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Rupiah coin from Indonesia, minted in 1970, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins in the series. Instead of the usual portrait of Sukarno, the first president of Indonesia, this coin bears an image of a traditional Indonesian fishing boat, known as a "sampan," on its obverse side. This design was chosen to represent the country's rich maritime culture and its dependence on fishing and marine resources.
