This is a 100 Indonesian Rupiah aluminium coin, issued by Indonesia and in circulation since AD 1999, remaining in use to this day.

The obverse of the coin features the national emblem of Indonesia, commonly known as Garuda Pancasila. The emblem’s central figure is Garuda, a golden-winged mythical bird, bearing a shield on its chest and holding a ribbon in its talons. The shield is divided into five sections, each representing one of the Five Principles (Pancasila), the ideological foundation of Indonesia. The small pentagram at the centre symbolises the first principle, “Belief in One Supreme God”, which Sukarno interpreted through natural theology, allowing for a broader, more secular understanding. The lower-right section displays an oval chain, composed of nine circular links representing women and eight square links representing men, symbolising universal humanitarianism. The upper-right section features a banyan tree, signifying Indonesia’s ethnically diverse population unified under the republic. The upper-left section depicts a Javanese banteng (Bos javanicus), a species of wild cattle, whose social nature represents democratic deliberation. The lower-left section presents rice and cotton, essential crops that symbolise state welfare and social justice. Garuda’s talons grasp a white ribbon, which, though worn and difficult to discern on the coin, bears the inscription “BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA”, written in Old Javanese. This phrase, meaning “Unity in Diversity”, originates from the 14th-century Majapahit epic Kakawin Sutasoma. Below the emblem, the inscription “2000” indicates the year of issuance, while “BANK INDONESIA” encircling the lower portion denotes the issuing authority.

The reverse of the coin depicts a palm cockatoo (Probosciger aterrimus) perched on a branch. To its right, the inscription “KAKAKTUA RAJA” is the Javanese name for the species. The palm cockatoo is primarily found in New Guinea and surrounding islands and is the heaviest parrot species in the world. Below the bird, “100 RUPIAH” denotes the face value of 100 Indonesian Rupiah, or literally, “100 rupees”. The term “Rupiah” derives from the Sanskrit word “rupyakam (रूप्यकम्)”, meaning silver. Among Overseas Chinese communities in Southeast Asia, the Indonesian currency is commonly referred to as “盾” (dùn), a linguistic legacy from interactions with the Dutch colonial monetary system.

At present, there are three official coin series in circulation in Indonesia: aluminium coins issued between AD 1999 and 2003, 1,000 Rupiah nickel-plated steel coins issued in AD 2010, and the Indonesian National Heroes commemorative coins issued in AD 2016. Aluminium coins are relatively rare in circulation.

The Republic of Indonesia is located in Southeast Asia and comprises over ten thousand islands and more than 300 ethnic groups, making it the world’s largest archipelagic nation. Its territory spans both Asia and Oceania, and it controls the Strait of Malacca, a historically significant maritime passage that has long served as a crucial link between the Pacific and Indian Oceans.

The modern Republic of Indonesia gained independence from Dutch colonial rule in AD 1945 and is governed as a presidential republic. While Islam is the predominant religion, the administrative authorities tend to adopt a more secular stance.

這是一枚印尼發行，面額100印尼盾的鋁幣，自1999年以來流通至今，仍在使用。

鋁幣的正面是印尼國徽，通稱為金翅鳥潘查希拉。印尼國徽的主體是金翅鳥(迦樓羅)，胸前佩有盾徽，鷹爪將綬帶展開。盾徽的五個部分各自代表了印尼潘查希拉，即「建國五項原則」。中央的五角星小盾徽，代表第一項原則，「信仰一個至高無上的神」，但蘇卡諾以自然神論加以詮釋，於是可以衍伸為世俗主義。右下部分的橢圓鍊條，其中有代表女性的9個圓環，與代表男性的8個圓環，代表了普世的人道主義。右上部分的榕樹，代表了枝繁葉茂的多元民族，統合在印尼共和國之下。左上部分的爪哇野牛(banteng，或學名Bos javanicus)，以野牛群的社會性來象徵民主協商。左下部分的稻穗與棉花，以生計日用的農作物象徵福利國主義。迦樓羅的鳥爪抓住一個白色綬帶，綬帶上雖因磨損而難以辨識，但應為古爪哇語「BHINNEKA TUNGGAL IKA」，是為印尼國家格言，出自公元14世紀滿者伯夷帝國時期的史詩《卡卡溫·蘇塔索瑪(Kakawin Sutasoma)》，大意為「異中有同」。下方「2000」標示了發行年，下方環繞的「BANK INDONESIA」，則標示了發行單位。

鋁幣的背面是棕櫚鳳頭鸚鵡(palm cockatoo，或學名Probosciger aterrimus)，棲於枝上。鸚鵡右側「KAKAKTUA RAJA」，即爪哇語中，棕櫚鳳頭鸚鵡之意。棕櫚鳳頭鸚鵡主要分布於新幾內亞及附近島嶼，是世界上重量最重的鸚鵡。下方「100 RUPIAH」，為面額100印尼盾，或直譯為100盧比。盧比之名源自梵文中表示銀的單字「rupyakam ( रूप्यकम् )」。南洋華人則因與荷蘭殖民地的歷史交流經驗，而沿習稱印尼貨幣為「盾」。

現今於印尼流通的法定硬幣有三個系列，公元1999 年至2003 年的鋁幣、公元2010 年的1,000印尼盾鍍鎳鋼幣和公元2016 年的印尼國家英雄硬幣，鋁幣在流通中相對少見。

印度尼西亞共和國位於東南亞，由過萬島嶼及300多個族群組成，領土橫跨亞洲與大洋洲，是世界上最大的群島國家。所控制的馬六甲海峽，自古便是連接太平洋與印度洋的關鍵樞紐。當今的印度尼西亞共和國於公元1945年自荷蘭殖民下獨立，為總統制共和國。主要宗教為伊斯蘭教，行政當局則較傾向世俗主義。
