Here is a link to the picture of the RS200,000 note:

The motto of Indonesia is also in ancient Sanskrit...

Islam in Indonesia is a relatively NEW thing...It was all pretty much Buddhist and Hindu (notably Shaivite) before that...some were Buddhist, some were Shaivite...some were both (as I was).
Then, after the Majapahit Empire came crashing down, the Dutch were the first to arrive on the scene, followed by the Muslim people.
The Ganesha on the banknote is in historical remembrance of all this.
Welcome to the forum by the way and nice to have you on board. I hope to see you around.
Namaste and..
Aum Namah Shivaya
