Indonesia UNESCO Heritage Buddhism Borobudur Temple SP66 PCGS copper medal 1976

This UNESCO Borobudur commemorative medal, issued in 1976 and certified PCGS SP66, celebrates one of the world’s greatest Buddhist monuments and an important international preservation effort. Struck in copper with a beautiful Specimen finish, the medal honors the restoration of Borobudur, the monumental temple complex in Central Java, Indonesia, undertaken with support from UNESCO to safeguard this cultural treasure for future generations.

The obverse depicts a serene seated Buddha in meditation, positioned within an ornate arched halo decorated with intricate flame-like and geometric patterns. The figure rests on a stylized lotus pedestal, symbolizing spiritual enlightenment, wisdom, and peace. The reverse presents a detailed view of Borobudur Temple, featuring its iconic terraced architecture, stepped stone platforms, bell-shaped perforated stupas, central stupa tower, and brickwork textures. Beneath the temple design appear the inscriptions “UNESCO-BOROBUDUR” and the date “1976.” The medal’s artistic composition beautifully combines religious symbolism with architectural heritage.

Borobudur is the largest Buddhist temple in the world and one of Southeast Asia’s most significant archaeological sites. The UNESCO restoration project became a landmark achievement in global heritage conservation. Certified SP66 by PCGS, this copper medal is an attractive collectible linking Buddhism, world heritage, architecture, and international cultural preservation.
