By 1991, Suriname's economy had been under severe strain for nearly a decade — the Dutch development aid that had propped up the guilder since independence was cut off in 1982 following Desi Bouterse's execution of fifteen political opponents, an event known as the December Murders. The 500 Gulden represented a substantial sum in a country where inflation and parallel exchange markets had become routine facts of life.
Thomas De La Rue printed the series, as they had much of Surinamese currency since independence. The watermark remains the sole security feature on this denomination — relatively thin protection for the highest circulating value in the series at the time of issue.
