Obverse description	Brown on green underprint. An elaborate arabesque and volute border frames the note, with the Suriname coat of arms at centre — two indigenous figures flanking a medallion containing a sailing vessel, surmounted by a crown and accompanied by the national motto ribbon inscribed JUSTITIA PIETAS FIDES. The issuer name, place, and date appear in the central text block in Dutch letterpress, with the denomination TWEE HONDERD GULDEN in bold Gothic script; numeral 200 occupies all four corners. A lower vignette presents an allegorical harbour scene evoking the first European arrival in Suriname, with figures exchanging offerings on a beach, cargo unloaded in the foreground, and a sailing ship at anchor in the bay beyond. Two manuscript signatures of the Director and Director-President appear in black at the foot of the note.
