| Obverse description | An elaborate arabesque and volute border frame, printed in blue on pink-tinted paper, encloses the full composition; the Surinamese coat of arms — two Indigenous figures flanking an oval medallion with a sailing vessel, surmounted by the motto banner Justitia Pietas Fides — is positioned at the top centre. The denomination VIJF EN TWINTIG GULDEN is set in bold letterpress across the centre field, with the place name Paramaribo and the manuscript issue date appearing above and below respectively, and the numeral 25 occupying each corner. A lower vignette along the bottom margin renders an allegorical colonial harbour scene with European and Indigenous figures on a beach, palm trees, pyramidal structures, and a square-rigged vessel at anchor, all executed in fine intaglio line engraving. |
