Rp1000 — One Thousand Rupiah
The artwork
Front: A wide engraved panorama of Danau Toba, named in small capitals across the foot of the plate — the flooded caldera in northern Sumatra, its ridges and headlands falling steeply to the water. Bank Indonesia is lettered across the top with 1000 at either side and SERIBU RUPIAH below. At the right, the Garuda Pancasila arms above the year 1992, DIREKSI, and the signatures of the Gubernur and Direktur.
Back: Lompat batu on Pulau Nias, again captioned on the plate: a young man in headdress and warrior dress caught mid-leap over a stacked stone pillar, with the tall steep-roofed traditional Nias houses and a row of onlookers behind. Serial MCR088261 sits in black at the upper right and red at the lower left, above a two-line Indonesian warning against counterfeiting and its prison penalty.
In circulation
Part of Bank Indonesia's 1992-dated family of notes, this one carrying a 1993 printing imprint, and a workhorse note through the 1990s. It was superseded by the 2000-dated 1000 rupiah with Kapitan Pattimura, after which the Lake Toba design was steadily withdrawn from everyday circulation.
