Indonesia Irian Barat 25 sen President Sukarno KM-8.2 AU PCGS aluminum coin 1962

The 1962 Indonesia Irian Barat 25 Sen KM-8.2 aluminum coin, certified PCGS Genuine Scratch-AU Details, is a historically significant issue from the special coin series produced for Irian Barat (West Irian) during its transition into the Republic of Indonesia. These coins are closely connected to a key period in Indonesian history and remain important collectibles for enthusiasts of Southeast Asian numismatics and political memorabilia.

The obverse features a left-facing portrait of President Sukarno, Indonesia’s founding president and one of the leading figures of the national independence movement. He is shown wearing a traditional peci cap, surrounded by the inscriptions “Presiden Republik Indonesia” and “Sukarno,” separated by decorative rosette symbols. The reverse presents the denomination “25 Sen” in the center, framed by an elegant wreath composed of a flowering branch with blossoms and leaves on the left and a laurel branch on the right. The wreath is tied at the bottom with a ribbon above the date 1962, creating a clean and balanced design.

Struck in aluminum, this KM-8.2 issue represents an important chapter in Indonesia’s monetary and political history. Its association with Sukarno, distinctive Irian Barat origin, and PCGS-certified AU Details status make it an appealing addition to collections of Indonesian, political, and historical world coins.
