Indonesia 2000 Rupiah Javan Tiger PR67 PCGS proof silver coin 1974

The 1974 Indonesia 2000 Rupiah silver proof coin is a remarkable wildlife commemorative dedicated to the legendary Javan Tiger, one of the rarest and most iconic animals associated with Indonesia’s natural heritage. Issued during a period of growing awareness of endangered species, this coin serves as both a numismatic treasure and a tribute to the unique fauna of the Indonesian archipelago.

The reverse features a beautifully engraved Javan Tiger walking through dense tropical vegetation. The animal is shown in profile with a powerful stance, muscular body, distinctive striped coat, raised head, alert ears, curved tail, and detailed paws. Surrounding the tiger are jungle grasses, reeds, and leafy plants that evoke its natural habitat. The denomination “Rp 2000” appears below the scene. The obverse displays the Garuda Pancasila, Indonesia’s national emblem, with outstretched wings, a detailed shield containing symbolic national motifs, the inscription “BANK INDONESIA,” the date “1974,” and the ribbon bearing the national motto “BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA.”

The Javan Tiger once roamed the forests of Java and became a powerful symbol of Indonesia’s biodiversity and conservation efforts. Struck in silver with an impressive proof finish and certified PCGS PR67 DCAM (Deep Cameo), this coin offers exceptional contrast, sharp detail, and strong collector appeal. A superb choice for collectors of wildlife coins, endangered species themes, Asian fauna, and certified world silver issues.
