About this banknote
Bank Indonesia issued the 5 rupiah banknote in 1968 as part of a series featuring General Sudirman, a prominent figure in Indonesia's struggle for independence. This series was introduced following the establishment of President Suharto's New Order regime, during which Bank Indonesia was granted the exclusive right to issue all denominations of banknotes, including those below 5 rupiah.
The obverse of the banknote displays a portrait of General Sudirman on the left side, with the national coat of arms positioned at the right upper center. The reverse features an image of the Jatiluhur Dam under construction. The banknote measures 132 x 65 mm and was printed by Pertjetakan Kebajoran in Jakarta.
