Indonesia Irian Barat 25 sen President Sukarno KM-8.2 AU53 PCGS Al coin 1962

The 1962 Indonesia Irian Barat 25 Sen KM-8.2 aluminum coin, graded AU53 by PCGS, is an intriguing historical issue from the special coinage struck for Irian Barat (West Irian) during a pivotal period in Indonesia’s national development. These coins circulated during the years when the territory was being integrated into the Republic of Indonesia, making them important artifacts of both monetary and political history.

The obverse features a finely rendered left-facing portrait of President Sukarno, Indonesia’s first president and a central figure in the nation’s independence movement. He is depicted wearing a traditional peci cap, surrounded by the inscriptions “Presiden Republik Indonesia” and “Sukarno,” with decorative rosette symbols dividing the legends. The reverse displays the denomination “25 Sen” prominently in the center, encircled by a graceful wreath composed of a flowering branch with blossoms and leaves on the left and a laurel branch on the right. A ribbon ties the wreath at the base above the date 1962, creating an elegant and balanced design.

Struck in aluminum and certified PCGS AU53, this KM-8.2 issue combines historical significance, political symbolism, and collectible appeal. Its connection to Sukarno and the Irian Barat series makes it a desirable addition to collections of Indonesian, Asian, and world coins.
