| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Suriname occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield supported by two indigenous figures standing as heraldic supporters, each facing inward. The shield bears a sailing ship on the dexter side and a palm tree with a star on the sinister side, separated by a horizontal wavy band. The motto legend JUSTITIA PIETAS FIDES appears on a scroll beneath the shield. The country name SURINAME is inscribed in bold letters along the lower arc of the field, and the entire composition is encircled by an ornate wreath of laurel branches. |

| Reverse description | The central field features a stylized double-bird motif rendered in a bold, graphic design inspired by indigenous Surinamese art, with two confronted bird forms sharing a common body and flanking a central foliate element. Beneath this device, the denomination 500 GUILDERS and the commemorative date range 1975-1990 are inscribed in two lines. A circular legend reading 15 JAAR STAATKUNDIGE ONAFHANKELIJKHEID surrounds the design, commemorating fifteen years of constitutional independence. The overall composition is clean and modernist in style, with strong relief against the mirror-polished proof field. |
