| Additional information |
Issued as part of Indonesia's first official gold coin program, this piece commemorates General Sudirman, the commander who led guerrilla resistance against Dutch forces during the Indonesian National Revolution of 1945–1949. Sudirman directed operations from a stretcher — he was dying of tuberculosis throughout much of the campaign — and died in January 1950, just months after Dutch recognition of Indonesian sovereignty.
The 1970 series was produced in limited quantities primarily for international collectors rather than domestic circulation, timed loosely to Suharto's New Order government consolidating its nationalist credentials.
