Indonesia 10000 rupiah Babi Rusa KM-45 Wildlife Pig PR 69 PCGS silver coin 1987

The 1987 Indonesia 10,000 Rupiah KM-45 silver proof coin is a remarkable wildlife commemorative celebrating the Babirusa, one of Indonesia’s most extraordinary and rare native animals. Struck by Bank Indonesia and certified PR69 by PCGS, this high-grade proof issue combines outstanding craftsmanship with an important conservation theme. Its deeply mirrored fields and frosted design elements create a striking contrast that highlights every detail of this fascinating species.

The reverse features a beautifully engraved Babirusa, often called the “deer-pig,” walking through a lush tropical landscape. Its distinctive upward-curving tusks, elongated snout, alert eye, wrinkled body, muscular shoulders, legs, and hooves are rendered with exceptional precision. The surrounding habitat includes dense grasses, broad leaves, flowering plants, stems, and jungle vegetation. The denomination “Rp 10000” is displayed prominently below the scene. The obverse presents the Garuda Pancasila, Indonesia’s national emblem, with spread wings and a detailed shield containing symbolic national elements. Above are the inscriptions “BANK INDONESIA” and “1987,” while the ribbon below bears the national motto “BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA.”

Endemic to Sulawesi and neighboring islands, the Babirusa is renowned for its unusual tusks and ecological significance. Struck in silver and certified PR69 by PCGS, this coin is an exceptional choice for collectors of wildlife, conservation, Asian fauna, and premium world numismatics.
