1 Cent

Suriname remained a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands until 1975, meaning these coins were issued under Dutch authority through the Centrale Bank van Suriname — an institution established only in 1957 after the country gained internal autonomy under the Statuut voor het Koninkrijk. The bronze cent series ran through the final decade of Dutch administration, circulating alongside Netherlands Antilles coinage in a monetary arrangement that reflected the awkward half-independence of the period.

Struck at the Utrecht mint, as was standard for Dutch Caribbean issues of this era.
