Reverse of the 2013 Suriname 10 Dollar

Obverse of the 2013 Suriname 10 Dollar

Suriname History
Discovered by Amerigo Vespucci for Spain in 1499, the Spanish did not stay, being disappointed at finding no gold. It was first settled by the British in 1650. These settlements were invaded by the Dutch, and in 1667, the Netherlands obtained control of Surinam, then Guiana under the Treaty of Breda, in exchange for their North American claims to New Amsterdam, now New York. When Napoleonic France occupied the Netherlands, Suriname was occupied briefly by the British from 1799 to 1816. Suriname gained independence on November 25th 1975. Political instability followed and the military took over the government in 1980, and killed 15 opposition members in 1982. Democracy was restored in 1987, but the army again took control in 1990. Democracy again resurfaced in 1991, and the Dutch government has since assisted Suriname's financial stability.
The original population were the Arawak tribe, partially replaced by the Caribs. Slave labour was imported by the Dutch until 1863, originally from Africa, but later Chinese workers were imported from Indonesia, and Indians until 1916. This has left Suriname with a rich ethnic mixture in its population. The official language remains Dutch, but Tongo, Javanese, and Sranan or Sranang are widely spoken as well as others. Sranan is a mixed language which arose around 1700, and is widely used in everyday situations.

We bought this coin from the secondary market and when conducting some research on the coin, we discovered many dealers are saying this coin is one the cheapest ways to invest in silver. We are always looking for the best deal for our customers, so of course we looked into stocking these coins. However, we found that it is not the cheapest silver one ounce coin available. We have recently placed an order for Armenian Noah's Ark One Ounce Silver Coin and found that the Suriname 10 Dollar One Ounce Coin was £2.26 per coin more expensive at cost price. Due to this, we have decided not to stock this coin at the present time, but if this coin is being promoted as a low cost silver bullion coin, then we predict that these will appear on the secondary market.
