| Comments |
The "Rupiah Baru" designation was an explicit political statement. Issued during the Indonesian National Revolution, these notes were produced by the Republic as it fought for recognition against Dutch reassertion of colonial control following Japan's surrender. The Republican government operated under severe material constraints, and the printing quality across this series reflects that — paper sources and ink consistency vary noticeably between batches.
Pick 35D is one of several signature and serial variants catalogued separately within the broader 1 Rupiah Baru type, distinguished by minor typographic and overprint differences rather than any change in the underlying plate design.
