Perum Peruri — the state security printing works — had been producing Indonesian banknotes since 1971, and by 1980 the facility in Karawang was well into its stride. This note is part of a series that reflected the Suharto government's deliberate policy of keeping printing contracts onshore rather than relying on De La Rue or other foreign houses as Indonesia had done through much of the 1950s and 1960s.
The single watermark is the only machine-readable security feature — modest by contemporary international standards, but consistent with how this denomination circulated: high-volume, everyday transactional use that wore notes out quickly.
