| Additional information |
West Irian — the western half of New Guinea — was transferred from Dutch colonial administration to a UN Transitional Authority in October 1962, then handed to Indonesia in May 1963. This coin was struck in anticipation of that transfer, issued specifically for the territory rather than the broader Indonesian monetary system. The Dutch had maintained their own currency there; these aluminium pieces were part of Indonesia's administrative preparation to assert economic control before the formal handover was complete.
