Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Rupiah coin from Indonesia, minted in 1970, was the first coin to feature the country's national emblem, the Garuda Pancasila, on its obverse side. The Garuda Pancasila is a mythical bird that symbolizes the country's five principles of nationhood, and it has been featured on many of Indonesia's coins and banknotes since its introduction. This coin was made of aluminum and had a unique pattern, which made it stand out from other coins in circulation at the time.
