Indonesia 10000 rupiah World Wildlife Wild Pig PR68 PCGS proof silver coin 1987

The 1987 Indonesia 10,000 Rupiah “Babi Rusa” silver proof coin is a striking wildlife-themed commemorative celebrating one of Southeast Asia’s most unusual and rare animals. Issued by Bank Indonesia and certified PCGS PR68 Deep Cameo (DCAM), this coin highlights the country’s rich biodiversity and commitment to preserving unique native species.

The reverse features a beautifully detailed Babirusa, often called the “deer-pig,” shown walking through its natural habitat. The animal’s distinctive curved tusks arch dramatically upward over its snout, while fine engraving captures the folds of its skin, muscular body, raised leg, alert eye, and slender tail. Surrounding the creature are tropical plants, broad leaves, grasses, flowers, and dense vegetation, creating an authentic jungle setting. The denomination “Rp 10000” appears below. The obverse displays the Indonesian national emblem, Garuda Pancasila, with outstretched wings and an ornate shield containing symbolic national motifs. The inscriptions “BANK INDONESIA” and the date “1987” complete the design, while the ribbon below bears the national motto “BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA.”

Struck in silver with impressive proof surfaces and strong deep cameo contrast, this PCGS PR68DCAM certified example is highly desirable for collectors of wildlife coins, Asian fauna, conservation themes, and modern world silver issues. Its exceptional artistry and iconic animal subject make it a standout addition to any collection.
