Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Sen coin from Irian Jaya (Indonesian States) is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 1962. It is made of aluminum, which is a lightweight and corrosion-resistant metal that is often used in coinage. However, what makes this coin particularly interesting is that it features a pattern that is different from the standard design used on other coins from the same era. The pattern features a stylized image of a traditional Indonesian boat, known as a "pinisi," which is surrounded by intricate geometric shapes and patterns. This unique design makes the coin stand out from other coins from the same time period and makes it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
