50000 Indonesian Rupiah (Issued 2005)

This 50,000 Indonesian Rupiah banknote, issued in 2005 by Bank Indonesia, forms part of the pre-2016 “Heroes and Heritage” series and combines national history with detailed architectural and cultural imagery. It is a withdrawn design that is no longer issued in daily circulation, but it remains recognisable and exchangeable through specialist services.

On the front, the note features a finely engraved portrait of I Gusti Ngurah Rai, one of Indonesia’s most respected national heroes, shown wearing traditional military attire. The portrait is rendered in cool blue tones with intricate line work and micro-patterning around the face and headwear. To the left of the portrait are layered geometric security patterns and denomination numerals “50000,” while the Garuda Pancasila emblem appears on the right-hand side, reinforcing the authority of the Indonesian state. The background incorporates complex guilloché designs, fine wave motifs, and latent security features typical of mid-2000s Bank Indonesia issues.

The reverse showcases a detailed illustration of Pura Taman Ayun, a historic Balinese temple complex surrounded by water, depicted with its tiered meru shrines and traditional architecture. The temple scene is framed by flowing security lines, colour-shifting background elements, and a broad vertical clear area used for watermark and anti-counterfeiting purposes. The denomination “LIMA PULUH RIBU RUPIAH” is clearly printed, alongside serial numbers and Bank Indonesia text, balancing cultural imagery with formal monetary design.
