| Obverse description | Facing portrait of an orangutan rendered in a stylized, linear engraving technique, occupying the central field of the coin. The primate's distinctive facial features and voluminous hair are depicted with fine incised lines against a smooth field. The superimposed outline of the Indonesian archipelago forms a subtle cartographic backdrop integrated into the portrait design. The legend 'INDONESIA' arcs along the upper rim in script lettering, while the inscription 'probe trial essai' appears in cursive along the lower rim, identifying the piece as a pattern issue. |
