| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold commemorative design in which a hand rising from the lower field firmly grasps a flagpole bearing the national flag of Suriname, shown unfurling dynamically to the right. Behind the flag, rays of a rising sun radiate outward toward the upper right, symbolizing the dawn of independence. A stylized outline of the Surinamese landscape appears in the lower middle field. The legend EEN JAAR ONAFHANKELIJKHEID curves along the upper periphery, and the commemorative dates 1975 - 25 NOVEMBER - 1976 are inscribed along the lower arc. |

| Additional information |
Suriname gained independence from the Netherlands on 25 November 1975, making this 1976 issue a first-anniversary commemoration struck within months of the new state's founding. The Centrale Bank van Suriname had itself only just been reconstituted as a fully sovereign institution, having previously operated under Dutch financial oversight as the Surinaamsche Bank.
The "Red Gold" designation distinguishes this from companion issues in the same series struck in yellow gold, with the copper alloy ratio adjusted to produce the warmer hue — a deliberate choice for the commemorative set rather than a production accident.
