About this banknote
The 25 sen banknote, cataloged as Pick 32, was issued by the Netherlands Indies government on December 1, 1947. This issuance aimed to address the shortage of small denomination currency during the post-World War II period. The notes were printed in Indonesian, with Dutch and Indonesian text on the reverse, and continued to circulate after Indonesia's independence until the introduction of coins in 1951.
The obverse of the note features a central floral design with inscriptions in Indonesian, including "Indonesia" and "Doea Poeloeh Lima Sen." The reverse displays a central motif of palm trees, flanked by legal text in both Dutch and Indonesian. Measuring 172 x 79 mm, the note is predominantly brown in color.
