Background & history
This 100 gulden note belongs to the 1985 series issued by the Centrale Bank van Suriname following the country's independence from the Netherlands in 1975. The series was printed by Joh. Enschedé en Zonen of the Netherlands, the renowned security printer. This series circulated from 1985 until the introduction of the Surinamese dollar (SRD) in 2004, when the gulden was replaced at a rate of 1 SRD = 1,000 SRG due to severe inflation. The design reflects Suriname's multicultural heritage, tropical environment, and colonial architectural legacy. The date '8 JANUARI 1985' is clearly printed on the back, establishing the precise issue date. Serial number AB290296 indicates this is from an early print run of the series.
