Model: Booklet plus Claimable NFT
The Cenderawasih edition follows a twin stamp model: a physical booklet (nominal value Rp 150,000, 3,000 made) carries a QR code and a unique code. Buyers claim the digital twin on Ciphers.me, where the NFT is minted on Polygon. Ciphers.me is the same platform used by Deutsche Post and Royal Joh. Enschedé, so Pos Indonesia adopted an existing European phygital stack rather than building its own.
