The second issue of the Rp2,000 note was released on December 19, 2016. The green-gray colored note had a size of 141 mm × 65 mm (5.6 in × 2.6 in), weighed 80 g (2.8 oz), and featured the image of the national hero Mohammad Husni Thamrin on its obverse and depictions of the Sianok Canyon, the Tari Piring traditional dance, and champaka flower^[4] on its reverse.

Notes of this series were sometimes confused with the higher-denominated 20,000 rupiah note from the same 2016 series, which was similar in color, denomination, design, and size.^[6] Bank Indonesia predicts that this note, alongside other notes of the 2016 series, will cease to be legal tender around 2025 or 2026.^[7][8]

2022 issue

The third issue of the Rp2,000 note was released on August 17, 2022, on Indonesia's 77th independence day.^[9] Its obverse and reverse designs are the exact same as depicted in the previous 2016 series (obverse features Thamrin and reverse features Sianok Canyon, tari piring, and champaka), although its size was reduced to 126 mm × 65 mm (5.0 in × 2.6 in),^[10] its color scheme made colorful (in contrast to the 2016 series' monochrome), and its weight increased to 90 g (3.2 oz).^[11] Its security features include a security thread,^[12] ultraviolet ink art,^[13] intaglio printing, blind codes,^[14] plastic coating to increase its durability,^[15] a see-through image of the Bank Indonesia logo, and a watermark of Mohammad Husni Thamrin.^[16]

It is reported that these notes are sometimes confused with the higher-denominated 50,000 rupiah note of the same 2022 series.^[17]
