| Comments |
The PRRI — Pemerintah Revolusioner Republik Indonesia — was a rebel government that declared itself in February 1958 from Padang, West Sumatra, in direct opposition to Sukarno's Jakarta administration. It was never recognized internationally, collapsed militarily by mid-1961, and its notes were never accepted as legal tender outside the territories it briefly controlled. These issues were printed under extremely constrained conditions and circulated only locally, if at all.
Survival rate is low simply because the losing side rarely preserves its paper. Notes from this series that do appear tend to show heavy use or damage consistent with wartime provincial circulation — not mishandling by collectors.
