| Obverse lettering | PERURI No Value Specimen SUMPAH PALAPA Sira Gajah Madapatih amangkubhumi tan ayun amuktia palapa, sira Gajah Mada: "Lamun huwus kalah nusantara isun amukti palapa, lamun kalah ring Gurun, ring Seran, Tanjungpura, ring Haru, ring Pahang, Dompo, ring Bali, Sunda, Palembang, Tumasik, samana isun amukti palapa". (Translation: [Finally] Gajah Mada became prime minister of Mangkubumi, [but] did not want to seize the palapa. Gajah Mada [swore], "If the archipelago has been conquered, [then] I will seize the palapa. If Gurun, Seram, Tanjungpura, Haru, Pahang, Dompo, Bali, Sunda, Palembang, Tumasik have been conquered, then I will seize the palapa.") |
| Reverse description | At left-center, an intaglio vignette of the Gapura Wringinlawang, a candi bentar split-gate monument of the Majapahit era, incorporating repeated PERURI microtext as a latent security element. To the right, a finely engraved geometric grid pattern evokes a historical map of the Nusantara archipelago as it existed in the fourteenth century, with a circular vignette at lower right enclosing a silhouette of a mounted horse and rider. The polychrome underprint employs pastel gradients of green, yellow, orange, and blue, bordered by decorative guilloche scrollwork along both lateral margins. |
