| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse depicts a dynamic relief of swimmer Anthony Nesty in full butterfly stroke, shown in profile moving through stylized waves, rendered in fine detail. Above the central swimming figure, the inscription BUTTERFLY 200 M. identifies the event, accompanied by the fineness mark 999 in the upper right field. The circular legend A. NESTY · WINNER BRONZE MEDAL · arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while 100 GUILDERS appears beneath the swimmer and BARCELONA '92 is inscribed along the lower rim, commemorating Nesty's historic bronze medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Anthony Nesty's 1988 Seoul Olympic victory in the 100m butterfly — the first Olympic gold medal won by any athlete representing Suriname, and by a swimmer from a nation with no Olympic-sized pool at the time — prompted an outpouring of commemorative issues. This coin marks the 200m butterfly specifically, though Nesty competed only in the 100m at Seoul, which has caused catalogers to debate whether the denomination references the event or a subsequent competition. The copper-nickel version sits in a series that also appeared in silver and gold.
