| Comments |
De Surinaamsche Bank was established in 1865 as a private institution with the right of issue, granted by the Dutch colonial government — an arrangement that persisted well into the twentieth century and made it unusual among colonial currency authorities of the period. The Enschedé firm in Haarlem, one of the most technically accomplished security printers in Europe, supplied notes to the bank across a remarkably long production run for this series.
The span of nearly five decades covered by Pick 46 means that individual examples may differ in signature combinations, hand-entered dates, or minor typographic adjustments between print runs. Suriname's small population and limited commercial activity kept circulation volumes low, which partly accounts for the relative scarcity of surviving specimens today.
