It is not really clear which of these coins (KM#44.1a, KM#44.1b and KM#44.1c) exist and what their weight, size and composition is. Muntalmanak and Krause list different coins with different characteristics.

Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate Brazil's victory in the 1994 FIFA World Cup, which was held in the United States. The coin features an image of a soccer player in action on one side and the coat of arms of Suriname on the other. It has a limited mintage of 5,000 pieces, making it a rare and collectible item for coin enthusiasts.
