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1) Coins for Riau were minted with the year 1962, released in late 1963 and withdrawn in 1964.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 5 Sen 1962 coin from Riau (Indonesian States) made of Aluminium weighing 1.27g is interesting because it is one of the smallest coins ever produced in Indonesia, with a diameter of only 14mm.
