Suriname's 1992 Olympic issue was part of a broader wave of high-denomination commemoratives produced by smaller nations whose coins were destined almost entirely for the collector market rather than domestic circulation. The guilder was under significant inflationary pressure through the early 1990s, making a 1000-guilder face value both nominally large and practically irrelevant for everyday transactions.
KM#48 is the brass variant — a separate issue from the silver striking of the same type, catalogued distinctly rather than as a subset.
