Indonesia 10000 rupiah Babi Rusa KM-45 Wildlife Pig PR 67 PCGS silver coin 1987

The 1987 Indonesia 10,000 Rupiah KM-45 silver proof coin celebrates one of the most distinctive animals of Southeast Asia—the Babirusa, often called the “deer-pig” because of its remarkable curved tusks. Certified PR67 by PCGS, this beautifully struck wildlife coin combines exceptional artistry with conservation awareness, making it a highly desirable piece for collectors of fauna-themed and world silver coinage.

The reverse showcases a detailed Babirusa walking through its natural habitat. The animal’s characteristic upward-curving tusks, muscular body, textured skin folds, and alert posture are rendered in impressive detail. Surrounding the scene are tropical grasses, flowering plants, leaves, stems, and dense jungle vegetation. Below the design appears the denomination “Rp 10000.” The obverse features the Indonesian national emblem, the majestic Garuda Pancasila, with spread wings and a shield displaying symbolic elements of the nation. Above are the inscriptions “BANK INDONESIA” and “1987,” while the ribbon below bears the national motto “BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA.”

Native to Indonesia, the Babirusa is a rare wild pig found primarily on Sulawesi and nearby islands. Known for its unusual tusks and unique appearance, it has become an important symbol of Indonesia’s rich biodiversity. Struck in silver with a proof finish and certified PR67 by PCGS, this coin is an outstanding addition to wildlife, conservation, Asian fauna, and world coin collections.
