Additional information

General Sudirman commanded Indonesian republican forces against the Dutch during the 1945–1949 independence struggle while suffering from advanced tuberculosis — he conducted guerrilla operations in Java carried in a litter because he was too ill to walk. He died in January 1950, just months after sovereignty was formally transferred, and became the foundational military hero of the republic. This 1970 issue was struck as part of Indonesia's first commemorative silver program, timed loosely with international recognition of the country's development-era coinage ambitions under Suharto's New Order government.
