- Value: 5 Sen.
- Year: 1962.

- Grade: MS62 (NGC).

Coin of 5 Sen with the bust of President Sukarno facing left on the obverse, accompanied by his name and official title as president of the Republic of Indonesia. The reverse shows the face value and the date in the center, framed by a wreath of rice and cotton stems, traditional symbols of prosperity and welfare in Indonesian national iconography. The specimen features well-defined relief, abundant original luster and uniform surfaces with slight contact marks typical of a non-circulating coin, in full accord with the MS62 grade. This plain edge variant was minted for circulation in Irian Barat (West New Guinea), territory whose incorporation into Indonesia culminated in 1962, making this issue an interesting numismatic testament to the region's integration into the Indonesian state.
