About this banknote
The Surinaamsche Bank issued this 50-cent Zilverbon banknote in 1942. The introduction of this series was part of a monetary strategy during World War II to maintain the circulation of currency despite global economic disruptions. These notes were legally backed by silver and meant to substitute for scarce coinage.
The front side of the banknote features an image of a woman in profile surrounded by detailed engravings, with inscriptions detailing the note's value and issuing authority. The back displays an ornate red pattern. This particular note, Pick 104c, was printed by the American Bank Note Co. USA, a company known for producing secure banknotes internationally.
