| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Suriname occupies the central field, supported on either side by two indigenous Amerindian figures. The shield depicts a sailing ship in the upper half and a diamond shape in the lower half. The entire composition is encircled by a decorative wreath of red palulu flowers (Heliconia bihai). The circular legend SURINAME appears along the lower periphery, with the motto JUSTITIA PIETAS FIDES arching across the upper border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a central numeral denoting the denomination, flanked by stylised decorative motifs inspired by the wood-carving traditions of the Surinamese Maroons, descendants of escaped enslaved Africans. The date appears at the top of the field, with the denomination 1 CENT inscribed below. The mint mark of the Royal Dutch Mint (caduceus) and the mintmaster's privy mark appear within the design. The whole is enclosed within a beaded or linear circle, consistent with the artistic aesthetic of Maroon craft heritage. |
