| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 50th anniversary of UNICEF, this coin was part of a coordinated global release in which dozens of nations struck commemoratives under the same theme in 1996 — Indonesia's version arrived three years late. Bank Indonesia's delayed participation was not unusual; several developing-nation central banks issued their UNICEF pieces well outside the official anniversary window, often tying the release to domestic commemorative coin programs already in the pipeline.
The .925 silver specification and 28.28g weight place this squarely in the Crown-sized commemorative format that dominated the 1990s collector market, produced almost certainly by a contracted foreign mint rather than struck domestically.
