Obverse description This triangular-shaped medal is struck from pure copper weighing 1 AVDP oz and features the theme of traditional maritime heritage from the Indonesian archipelago. The obverse presents the Pinisi, the iconic two-masted sailing ship of the Bugis-Makassar people of South Sulawesi, Indonesia. With its tall rigging and multiple sails unfurled, the Pinisi is shown navigating the ocean waves, symbolizing resilience and the spirit of exploration. This vessel has long been a symbol of Indonesian maritime culture and craftsmanship, recognized by UNESCO as part of the world’s intangible cultural heritage. Stylized waves and ornate scrollwork frame the ship, emphasizing its maritime power.
