Indonesian 25-rupiah coin
Indonesian coin
The Indonesian twenty five rupiah coin (Rp25) is a now-defunct denomination of the Indonesian rupiah. It was introduced in 1971 and was last revised in 1991. Coins of this denomination were minted until 1996 and have been invalid for transactions since 31 August 2010 when the 1991-issue Rp25 coin ceased to be legal tender.
First issue (1971-1990)
The first Rp25 coins were minted in 1971 as cupronickel coins. They had a 20 mm (0.79 in) diameter, were 1.25 mm (0.049 in) thick, weighed 3.52 g (0.124 oz), and had a milled edge. Their obverse featured the lettering "BANK INDONESIA" and "25 RUPIAH" as well as two stars, while their reverse depicted an image of the Victoria crowned pigeon (Goura victoria) as well as the lettering "Rp25." These coins ceased to be legal tender on June 25, 2002, and were redeemable in general banks until 24 June 2007 and in Bank Indonesia offices until 24 June 2012.
Second issue (1991-1996)
The Bank of Indonesia revised the Rp25 coin for the second and last time on 16 December 1991, as an aluminum coin. It had an 18mm diameter, was 1.98mm thick, weighed 1.22g, and had a plain edge. Its obverse featured the national emblem Garuda Pancasila, the mint year (e.g., "1996"), and the lettering "BANK INDONESIA," while its reverse featured an image of a nutmeg plant (Myristica fragrans) as well as the lettering "Rp25" and "Buah Pala" (Nutmeg). These coins ceased to be legal tender on 31 August 2010, due to its extremely low value, which makes them undesirable for making transactions, and were redeemable in general banks until 30 August 2015 and in Bank Indonesia offices until 31 August 2020.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Indonesian 25-rupiah coin” as indonesian coin. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as indonesian coin. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q120912931. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1971, 1991, 1996 and 2010.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
