| Obverse description | Central shield-shaped coat of arms depicting a traditional sailing vessel (pinisi) against a sunburst background, flanked by laurel branches on either side. The denomination '5 RUPEES' appears in the exergue below the shield, with the date '2019' inscribed immediately above it within the design. The legend '* SULAWESI *' arcs along the upper rim in raised Latin lettering. The overall design is executed in a clean, medallic style typical of fantasy issues. |

| Additional information |
Sulawesi is not a monetary issuer. It is one of Indonesia's four major islands, with no authority to produce legal tender. Coins attributed to "Sulawesi" with rupee denominations are fantasy pieces — struck by private mints, typically in Asia, and marketed to collectors with no backing from any recognized government or central bank. The European peacock subject has no geographic or cultural connection to Sulawesi whatsoever.
