Interesting fact
The 50 Sen coin from Riau (Indonesian States) made of Aluminium and weighing 3g is interesting because it was produced during a time when Indonesia was still a young country, gaining independence from the Dutch in 1949. The coin's design, featuring a traditional Indonesian boat and the country's coat of arms, reflects the nation's rich cultural heritage and its struggle for independence. Additionally, the use of aluminum as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to make it more durable and resistant to corrosion, ensuring that it would remain in circulation for a long time.
