| Comments |
Suriname remained a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands until 1975, and in 1963 the Centrale Bank van Suriname was still operating in close institutional alignment with Dutch monetary arrangements — which explains the continued use of Enschedé in Haarlem, the prestige security printer responsible for Dutch guilder notes of the same period. C.A. Mechelse's involvement places this within a small circle of designers working across both metropolitan and overseas Dutch currency commissions.
Pick 122 is not a common note in any grade. The 1963 series had a relatively short active life before later issues superseded it, and Suriname's tropical climate was hard on cotton-paper currency in active circulation.
