The legend INDONESIA arcs along the upper left periphery in large Latin capitals, and the date appears at the bottom of the coin between four small rosette or star ornaments symmetrically placed on either side, lending a decorative border effect to the composition. |

| Additional information |
Indonesia's early aluminum coinage of the mid-1950s was issued against a backdrop of severe fiscal strain — the new republic was still absorbing the debt obligations imposed by the Dutch as a condition of the 1949 sovereignty transfer, a financial burden that constrained monetary policy for years. Aluminum was chosen partly on cost grounds, as copper-nickel alloys were beyond practical budget at the time.
The series ran across three years, with KM#11 representing one of the first domestically authorized coin types issued under Bank Indonesia following its formal establishment in 1953.
