The reverse depicts a Babirusa moving through a tropical landscape. The animal is shown with its distinctive upward-curving tusks, elongated snout, muscular frame, folded skin texture, and carefully detailed legs and hooves. Surrounding the scene are dense grasses, jungle plants, leaves, stems, flowers, and natural vegetation, creating a vivid habitat setting. The denomination “Rp 10000” appears prominently below.

The Babirusa, often called the “deer-pig,” is found primarily on Sulawesi and nearby islands and is famous for its remarkable tusks and rarity. Struck in silver with a proof finish and certified PR69 by PCGS, this coin is an outstanding addition to collections focused on wildlife, endangered species, conservation, and world silver commemoratives.
