About this banknote
The Republic of Indonesia issued the 5 sen banknote on October 17, 1945, as part of its first currency series, known as Oeang Republik Indonesia (ORI). This issuance occurred shortly after Indonesia declared independence on August 17, 1945, marking the nation's initial step in establishing a sovereign monetary system.
The front of the gray-violet note features the inscriptions "REPUBLIK INDONESIA," "TANDA PEMBAJARAN JANG SAH," and "LIMA SEN," along with the date "Djakarta 17 Oktober 1945." The note measures 100 x 47 mm and is printed on paper. The 5 sen denomination was part of the ORI I series, which was eventually demonetized.
