75000 Commemorative Indonesian Rupiah 2020 (75th Anniversary of Independence)

The 75,000 Indonesian Rupiah commemorative banknote was issued in 2020 by Bank Indonesia to mark the 75th Anniversary of Indonesian Independence (1945–2020). Unlike standard circulating denominations, this note was released as a special commemorative issue and carries a unique face value of 75,000 rupiah, symbolising the anniversary year. While it was legal tender at the time of issue, it was produced primarily as a keepsake and is now commonly retained as a commemorative note rather than used in everyday transactions.

On the front of the banknote, the design prominently features Indonesia’s founding leaders, Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta, depicted side by side in finely detailed engraved portraits. Both figures wear traditional peci caps, reinforcing their historical and national significance. Surrounding the portraits are vibrant security patterns, colour-shifting elements, and microtext typical of modern Indonesian banknote design. The denomination “75,000” is clearly displayed in bold numerals, accompanied by the wording Tujuh Puluh Lima Ribu Rupiah. The Garuda Pancasila emblem and a stylised map of Indonesia appear in the background, reinforcing the theme of national unity.

The reverse of the note celebrates Indonesia’s cultural diversity and independence legacy. It features a group of children dressed in traditional regional costumes, representing the many ethnic groups across the Indonesian archipelago. Behind them are symbolic design elements including a satellite and abstract map motifs, reflecting Indonesia’s progress from independence to a modern nation. The denomination is repeated, and the overall colour palette is dominated by reds and warm tones that echo the national flag. Advanced security features, including see-through registration elements and intricate line work, are integrated throughout the design.

Although this 75,000 rupiah note is relatively recent, it is not always accepted by banks or currency bureaus outside Indonesia due to its commemorative nature and unusual denomination. As a result, many individuals, collectors, charities, and businesses choose specialist services to convert it into sterling.
