Indonesia 2000 rupiah Conservation Wildlife Javan Tiger Fauna silver coin 1974

The Indonesia 2000 Rupiah Wildlife Coin of 1974 is a remarkable commemorative issue dedicated to one of the rarest and most iconic animals of Southeast Asia—the Javan tiger. Struck in silver, this coin highlights Indonesia’s rich natural heritage and serves as a lasting tribute to a species that once roamed the forests of Java. Combining wildlife conservation themes with elegant numismatic artistry, it remains a highly sought-after collectible.

The reverse features a beautifully engraved Javan tiger walking through dense tropical vegetation. The animal is depicted in profile with a muscular body, striped coat, alert ears, powerful paws, curved tail, and carefully detailed facial features. Surrounding the tiger are tall grasses, reeds, and jungle foliage, creating a natural habitat scene. Beneath the design appears the denomination “Rp2000.” The obverse displays the Indonesian national emblem, the Garuda Pancasila, with outstretched wings and a shield containing symbolic national motifs. Inscriptions include “BANK INDONESIA,” the year “1974,” and the national motto “BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA” on the ribbon below the eagle.

The Javan tiger became one of the most famous endangered animals in Indonesian history and symbolizes the importance of wildlife protection and environmental awareness. Struck in silver with attractive collector quality, this 1974 issue is an excellent addition for collectors of wildlife coins, endangered species themes, Asian fauna, and Indonesian numismatics.
