This striking 1 Rupiah official (“Resmi”) stamp from the Republic of South Maluku (Republik Maluku Selatan) features the rare Babirusa, a distinctive wild pig native to the Indonesian islands of Sulawesi and nearby regions. Issued during the brief period following the declaration of the Republic of South Maluku in 1950, these stamps were produced for official governmental correspondence. The design highlights the animal walking along a riverbank, reflecting the region’s unique wildlife and tropical landscape. Because the Republic existed only briefly, its stamps have become interesting historical and political collectibles among philatelists. Well-centered examples like this are appreciated for their vivid engraving and historical significance.
