Comment
Only three to four known.Passon (2022) mixes two coins up. Passon 73.4 shows an image of a cut coin with the arrows mark (C18), but the text mention the 'cc' mark (C17) as well. It also refers to Scholten 1414, where it is described as a cut coin with C18 and C17. Passon 73.5 is also described as a cut coin with C17 and C18, and it shows an image with these marks, but refers to Scholten 1415. The latter catalog describes 1415 as only marked with C18 (and not C17). So, the reference number of Passon (2022) in the box on this page is based on the images.
Interesting fact
The 18 Stuivers coin from Sint Maarten (Netherlands Antilles) is interesting because it was issued during the time of the Dutch East India Company, which was a powerful trading company that played a significant role in the history of the region. The coin's design features the Dutch coat of arms and the inscription "ST. MAARTEN" on one side, and the number "18" and the mint mark "C18" on the other. The use of the Dutch language and the inclusion of the Sint Maarten name suggest a strong connection to the Dutch colonial era. Additionally, the fact that it was made of silver and weighs 6.1 grams adds to its value and collectibility.
