| Reverse description | The central field depicts a stylised family group in relief: a father and mother standing upright, flanked by two children holding hands, symbolising the national family planning programme. The prominent monogram 'KB' (Keluarga Berencana) is displayed in the upper field above the family. A laurel branch curves along the left border and a cotton branch along the right, meeting at the base of the coin. The surrounding legend reads 'KELUARGA BERENCANA' along the upper arc and 'MENUJU KESEJAHTERAAN RAKYAT' along the lower arc, meaning 'Family Planning Towards the Welfare of the People'. |

| Additional information |
Issued as part of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization coin program, which ran through the 1970s and recruited dozens of nations to mint small-denomination pieces carrying agricultural themes. Indonesia's participation reflected the Suharto government's New Order emphasis on rice self-sufficiency — a policy priority so central that it shaped national budgets and foreign aid negotiations throughout the decade. The country would not actually achieve rice self-sufficiency until 1984.
