| Beschrijving voorzijde | Brown on light brown underprint, with an elaborate border of arabesques and volutes enclosing the entire face. The Coat of Arms of Suriname occupies the upper centre, flanked by two indigenous figures and surmounted by a ribbon bearing the national motto in Latin: Justitia Pietas Fides; the denomination numeral 300 appears in each corner. The central text block, printed in Dutch, gives the place and date of issue, with the large-lettered value DRIE HONDERD GULDEN below the promise-to-pay clause, and two manuscript signatures — those of the Director and the Director-President — at the foot of the text. A lower vignette depicts the arrival of the first Europeans in Suriname: a shoreside reception scene with figures bearing offerings, bales of goods on the beach, and a sailing vessel anchored in the bay. |

| Opmerkingen |
De Surinaamsche Bank was established in 1865 with a monopoly on note issuance in the Dutch colony, and the 300 Gulden denomination — unusually high for a colonial circulation note — was almost certainly intended for interbank settlement and merchant trade rather than everyday use. This makes surviving examples rare: high-value notes in small colonial economies tend to disappear through redemption or destruction rather than accumulation.
Enschedé's involvement is unsurprising; the Haarlem firm handled Dutch colonial printing throughout this period. The 45-year date span on this issue suggests plate reuse across multiple printings with minimal design revision.
