| Beschrijving keerzijde | A Hindustani immigrant couple stands in the central field before a large sailing vessel, rendered in high relief against the mirror-polished proof surface. The woman, draped in traditional attire and carrying a bundle, stands to the left, while the man in period dress stands to the right holding a flag. The denomination '50.000 GULDEN' arches prominently across the upper field, flanked by the commemorative inscription 'Suriname: 125 jaar Hindostaanse Immigratie' curving around the periphery. The dates '1873' and '1998', separated by '5 juni', appear in the lower exergue, commemorating the 125th anniversary of the first arrival of Hindustani indentured laborers on 5 June 1873. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
In 1873, the first ship carrying indentured laborers from British India arrived in Suriname, a direct consequence of the abolition of slavery in 1863 and the subsequent labor vacuum on Dutch colonial plantations. The Dutch government negotiated the arrangement with British India through a formal treaty, and over the following decades more than 34,000 Indians made the crossing. Many contracts offered return passage to India after ten years — a promise most ultimately declined.
This 1998 commemorative marks the 125th anniversary of that first arrival. The .917 gold specification aligns with the traditional 22-karat standard used across much of the Commonwealth world, a likely deliberate nod.
