| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-bodied cassowary striding to the left across a naturalistic landscape, with tropical foliage and rocky terrain rendered in detailed relief. The numeral '5000' appears prominently in large characters across the upper field, with the denomination legend 'LIMA RIBU RUPIAH' inscribed immediately below in smaller lettering. The engraver's Cyrillic initials 'ВБ' (for Vitaly Bakhtinov) are discretely placed in the lower right field. The overall composition is set within the distinctive seven-lobed scalloped coin format. |

| Additional information |
Maluku Selatan — the South Moluccas — declared independence from Indonesia in April 1950, a rebellion suppressed within months by the Indonesian army. The Republic of the South Moluccas never achieved international recognition, but its cause persisted for decades among the Moluccan diaspora in the Netherlands, culminating in the 1975 train hijacking near Beilen. This commemorative was issued as part of Bank Indonesia's ongoing provincial series, which has drawn quiet criticism for memorializing a region whose mid-century political history remains genuinely unresolved.
