10000 Indonesian Rupiah (2009 – 2016)

The 10,000 Indonesian Rupiah banknote (2009–2016 series) forms part of Bank Indonesia’s long-running “National Heroes” family, combining cultural heritage on one side with a detailed engraved portrait on the other. This series is notable for its refined line work, soft purple colour palette, and the clear evolution of Indonesia’s modern security printing during the late 2000s and 2010s.

On the reverse, the design features a traditional Indonesian architectural scene rendered in fine intaglio detail. The building shown is a classic Javanese wooden structure with tiered roofing and deep overhanging eaves, symbolising Indonesia’s regional craftsmanship and vernacular architecture. The background incorporates flowing guilloché patterns and dotted security elements, with the denomination “SEPULUH RIBU RUPIAH” clearly printed alongside “BANK INDONESIA.” Subtle geometric motifs and colour-shifting background tones add depth, while the overall composition balances cultural imagery with modern banknote aesthetics.

The front of the note carries a finely engraved portrait of Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin II, a National Hero of Indonesia, depicted wearing traditional attire and headgear. The portrait is framed by layered ornamental patterns and security guilloches, with the Garuda Pancasila emblem positioned prominently to reinforce state authority. The denomination “10,000” appears in multiple locations, including vertical orientation, aiding quick recognition. Additional features include microtext, patterned backgrounds, serial numbers in contrasting colours, and textured print areas designed to deter counterfeiting and improve durability in circulation.
