Indonesia 5000 rupiah Manjusri Statue Independence PR 68 PCGS gold coin 1970

This impressive Indonesia 5000 Rupiah Gold Coin of 1970 was issued to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Indonesian Independence (1945–1970) and showcases one of the country’s most important cultural and spiritual treasures—the Manjusri statue. Manjusri, the Bodhisattva of Wisdom in Buddhist tradition, symbolizes knowledge, enlightenment, and intellectual clarity, making this coin a remarkable blend of history, religion, and art.

The obverse depicts a finely engraved side view of the Manjusri statue, seated on an ornate lotus-style pedestal. The figure wears an elaborate headdress and ceremonial ornaments, with detailed drapery and sculptural contours emphasizing the beauty of classical Indonesian Buddhist art. Surrounding inscriptions read “25 Tahun Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia.” The reverse features the majestic Garuda Pancasila, Indonesia’s national emblem, with outstretched wings, detailed feathers, and a shield displaying symbolic national motifs centered by a star. Beneath the eagle appears the national motto “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” (“Unity in Diversity”), while the dates 1945–1970, denomination 5000 Rupiah, mint mark, and year complete the design.

Struck in gold with a proof finish and certified PR68 by PCGS, this coin represents an exceptional combination of Indonesian independence history, Buddhist heritage, and numismatic artistry. Its high grade, prestigious certification, and meaningful design make it a standout addition to any collection of world gold coins.
