Issued to mark Indonesia's 45th independence anniversary, this coin is part of a gold commemorative program Bank Indonesia ran through the 1980s and 1990s that targeted the international collector market rather than domestic circulation. The .958 fineness — sometimes called 23-karat — is an unusual choice for a modern commemorative, sitting above the .900 gold standard common to most state mints of the period but below the .9999 fineness favored by bullion programs.
Mintages across the Indonesian independence commemorative series were characteristically low, and distribution relied heavily on foreign coin dealers and numismatic agencies rather than any domestic retail network.
