Obverse description Central vignette comprises a finely engraved portrait of the Javan Hawk-Eagle (Spizaetus bartelsi), rendered in intaglio with intricate guilloche underprint in purple, blue, and gold tones, set against a background of stylised mountainous terrain and cloud formations evoking the species' native tropical forest habitat. A soaring hawk silhouette and a gilded feather motif appear above the main vignette, the latter incorporating advanced security ink elements, while a QR-format security mark with swirling micropattern geometry is positioned in the upper field. Issuer branding along the upper margin reads "PERURI", "De La Rue", and "SICPA SAFEGUARD®", with the series designation "3.1" and the thematic legend "THE INSPIRING TALES" inscribed at the base alongside the scientific name "Spizaetus bartelsi".

Comments

The "Test Note – Javan Hawk Eagle 3.1" designation places this squarely in the category of intaglio and polymer security evaluation material rather than any issued series. Perum Peruri has printed Indonesian currency domestically since the Karawang facility opened, but test notes of this kind — produced in collaboration with De La Rue — are typically generated to validate new substrate batches, security feature registration, or print tolerances before a production run is approved. They are not released through banking channels and rarely surface in collector hands through conventional routes.

The QR security mark is notable: its inclusion in a test specification suggests evaluation of machine-readable anti-counterfeiting layers, a relatively recent addition to polymer note security protocols in Southeast Asian production environments.
