Suriname's mid-1990s inflation crisis forced rapid upward scaling of denominations, and this 10,000 Gulden note was part of that emergency response — a value that would have been unthinkable in the currency's earlier decades. The gulden was eventually replaced entirely by the Surinamese dollar in 2004 at a rate of 1,000 gulden to 1 dollar, which puts the face value here in stark perspective.

Thomas De La Rue printed the issue with their standard intaglio and offset combination, secured by a metallic thread and watermark — minimal for a high-denomination note at that time, but consistent with what the Central Bank was commissioning across the series.
