20000 Indonesian Rupiah (2022 -2025)

The 20,000 Indonesian Rupiah banknote from the 2022–2025 series forms part of Indonesia’s current family of high-security polymer-style paper banknotes, issued by Bank Indonesia and actively used in everyday circulation across the country. This denomination sits at the heart of daily cash usage in Indonesia and reflects the modern design language introduced to improve durability, accessibility, and anti-counterfeiting protection.

The front of the note features a finely engraved portrait of Dr. G.S.S.J. Ratulangi, a respected Indonesian national hero, educator, and independence figure. The portrait is rendered in detailed intaglio-style linework, giving depth and texture to the facial features and traditional attire. To the right of the portrait sits the denomination “20000” in bold numerals, with “Dua Puluh Ribu Rupiah” clearly printed below. Subtle background patterns incorporate batik-inspired motifs, colour-shifting inks, microtext, and layered geometric forms. A hibiscus-style floral element appears near the lower portion of the design, while the Garuda Pancasila emblem and the words “Negara Kesatuan Republik Indonesia” reinforce the note’s official status. Security elements include a vertical security thread with repeating text, tactile raised print, and complex guilloché patterns that shift in tone under light.

The reverse of the banknote showcases a traditional Indonesian cultural scene, depicting a female dancer in ornate ceremonial dress holding fans, set against a stylised natural landscape. The background blends soft green tones with flowing decorative elements and floral graphics, creating depth and motion across the design. The denomination “20000” is prominently displayed on the right-hand side, with “Bank Indonesia” printed at the top. Fine dot patterns, micro-printing, and colour gradations are used throughout the reverse to enhance visual complexity and resist reproduction. Additional security features, including transparent-style windows and latent imagery, are integrated seamlessly into the artwork.
