Comment
It is not clear where the letters 'cc' stand for. Scholten (1951) guesses it might refer to Curaçao.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 18 Stuivers coin from Sint Maarten (Netherlands Antilles) is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was minted in 1797, just a few years after the French Revolution, which had a significant impact on the Dutch colonies in the Caribbean. The coin's silver content and countermarked design also reflect the economic and political ties between the Netherlands and its colonies during this time.
