| 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.
