Indonesia 500 Rupiah coin (1997 to 2003)

500 Indonesian Rupiah (Jasmine)

This later five-hundred-rupiah coin continued the earlier jasmine design into the late 1990s and early 2000s. Struck in a golden aluminium-bronze alloy with a reeded edge, it was a warm-toned, substantial coin used for everyday spending across Indonesia. Its reverse again honours one of the country’s cherished national flowers.

On the obverse are the words “BANK INDONESIA”, the denomination “500 RUPIAH”, the year, and the Garuda Pancasila, the national emblem of Indonesia.

On the reverse is a jasmine flower (bunga melati), a national symbol of purity, shown in bloom with the name “BUNGA MELATI”.
