The 1987 Indonesia 10,000 Rupiah KM-45 silver proof coin is a stunning tribute to the Babirusa, one of Indonesia’s most unusual and iconic wildlife species.

Its sharp details, mirrored fields, and conservation theme make it a standout addition to any world coin collection.

The reverse features a highly detailed Babirusa, often known as the “deer-pig,” walking through a lush tropical environment. The animal’s distinctive upward-curving tusks, elongated snout, muscular legs, wrinkled body, and alert eye are carefully rendered. Surrounding the scene are jungle grasses, broad leaves, flowering plants, stems, and natural vegetation. The denomination “Rp 10000” is prominently displayed below. On the obverse appears the Garuda Pancasila, Indonesia’s national emblem, with fully spread wings and a shield bearing symbolic elements of the state philosophy. Above are the inscriptions “BANK INDONESIA” and “1987,” while the ribbon beneath the eagle displays the national motto “BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA.”

Native to Sulawesi and nearby islands, the Babirusa is renowned for its extraordinary tusks and rarity in the wild. Struck in silver with a proof finish and certified PR67 by PCGS, this coin is an exceptional collectible for enthusiasts of wildlife, endangered species, conservation, and Southeast Asian numismatics.
