| Reverse description | The Batang Garing, the sacred tree of life from Dayak cosmological tradition, is depicted in finely detailed relief at the centre of the field, rendered in a stylised triangular form with ornate decorative elements including flame-like foliage and intricate carved motifs. The tree is set against a segmented globe or grid background suggesting a world map, with the date '1978' split across the lower central field on either side of the motif. The legend 'HUTAN UNTUK KESEJAHTERAAN' arcs around the upper and lateral periphery in bold Latin capitals, while the denomination 'Rp.100.-' is inscribed across the lower field. |

| Additional information |
This long-running issue coincided with Indonesia's aggressive transmigration program under Suharto, which relocated millions of people from Java and Bali into outer-island forest zones — a policy that generated sharp international criticism over deforestation and indigenous displacement throughout the 1980s. The forestry theme was government messaging as much as commemorative sentiment.
