| Additional information |
Suriname issued this piece for the 1994 FIFA World Cup held in the United States — an event the Surinamese national team did not qualify for. The issue is one of several World Cup commemoratives produced that year by nations with no direct sporting stake in the tournament, a common practice among smaller mints seeking hard currency revenue through collector sales abroad.
The KM#44.1a designation distinguishes this higher-purity striking from the standard .925 version catalogued separately. Mintage for the proof issue was tightly limited.
