| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Suriname occupies the central field, depicting a shield divided into two quarters bearing a sailing ship and an ellipse with a royal palm tree, supported by two indigenous figures and surmounted by a five-pointed star. The motto legend JUSTITIA PIETAS FIDES arcs below the arms, followed by the country name SURINAME. The entire central device is encircled by a wreath composed of lily blossoms, framing the composition in a decorative border. |

| Additional information |
Suriname's central bank has issued gold bullion pieces sporadically rather than as part of a sustained annual program, making individual dates scarcer in practice than their bullion status might suggest. The 2012 issue falls within a period when the Surinamese dollar, redenominated in 2004 to replace the guilder at a ratio of 1000:1, was still working to establish credibility as a stable unit — an odd backdrop for a coin whose face value bears essentially no relationship to its metal content.
