Beschrijving keerzijde	The reverse depicts two competitive cyclists in racing posture rendered in high relief, with a large stadium grandstand visible in the background, evoking the velodrome venue of the Barcelona Games. A stylized olive leaf motif appears in the lower field beneath the cyclists. The circular legend XXV SUMMER GAMES BARCELONA 1992 runs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 1000 GUILDERS is inscribed along the lower border, separated by dot stops.

Aanvullende informatie	Suriname issued both silver and base-metal versions of this Olympics commemorative, the silver striking intended primarily for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation. The country had virtually no tradition of silver coinage in everyday use by this point, and the Centrale Bank was deliberately leveraging international numismatic demand to generate hard currency — a common strategy among smaller nations during the commemorative boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s.
