About this banknote
The "Bank Indonesia" was the issuing authority for the 1000 rupiah banknote released in 1959. This series was introduced as part of Indonesia's post-independence currency issuance strategy. Printed by De La Rue in London, the notes aimed to standardize and modernize the nation's circulating currency during this period.
The front side of the banknote features a design with flowers at the center, presented in black-green and lilac on a multicolor underprint. The back side showcases an illustration of the Bird of Paradise. It also includes a watermark featuring the arms of Indonesia and variations with or without the imprint "TDLR" at the bottom center on the face.
