Inference C1246
The autonomous Surinamese guilder branched from the Dutch monetary system used locally since 1827. Official history identifies monetary autonomy, corroborated by later separate exchange values; not an ancestry claim from the US-dollar peg.
Corrected interpretation: Revision 27 supplies a new evidence basis for R-V25-001. Explicit monetary-authority account of separation establishes branching without requiring an uninspected universal conversion clause. Does not make USD peg ancestry. Replacement evidence: C1599.
