Interesting fact
The 5 Sen 1962 coin from Irian Jaya (Indonesian States) made of Aluminium weighing 1.3 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of great change in Indonesia. In 1962, the country was still in the process of gaining independence from the Dutch, and the coin's design reflects this transition. The obverse side features the Indonesian national emblem, while the reverse side shows a stylized image of a traditional Indonesian boat, known as a "sailboat." This design was meant to symbolize the country's journey towards independence and its connection to its maritime history.
