1 Gulden Silver voucher

These small-denomination silver vouchers were issued because wartime disruption to shipping between the Netherlands and Suriname made it nearly impossible to maintain adequate coin supplies in the colony. The "zilverbons" — silver vouchers — were paper substitutes for actual silver coinage, not banking instruments in the conventional sense, and the Surinaamsche Bank issued them under emergency authority to prevent a local currency crisis.

Enschedé, still printing from Haarlem, had handled Dutch colonial currency work for decades and was the logical choice. The 1918–1919 window is tight, and the series was retired once coin circulation normalized after the war.
