| Additional information |
The Save the Children Fund, founded in London in 1919 by Eglantyne Jebb in response to postwar famine conditions in Europe, became the organizational hook for a wave of commemorative issues from smaller nations during the early 1990s — Suriname among them. These pieces were produced primarily for the collector export market rather than domestic circulation, a common revenue strategy for Caribbean and South American central banks during a period when hard currency was difficult to accumulate through trade alone.
The KM#36 issue spans two years, suggesting either a planned mintage spread across fiscal periods or delayed distribution.
