Bank Indonesia's 1964 small-denomination series was printed domestically at Percetakan Kebayoran in Jakarta, one of the few state printing facilities in the developing world capable of producing currency in-house by that period. Indonesia had been issuing rupiah since 1950, but domestic production capacity was hard-won — earlier series had depended on foreign presses.
Designer Junalies was among a small group of Indonesian artists employed directly by the state printing works during this period. The 25 rupiah denomination circulated during Sukarno's Guided Democracy years, when inflationary pressure was already building toward the catastrophic devaluation and currency reform of 1965.
