Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a brief period of British occupation of Saint Eustatius, a small island in the Caribbean that was previously under Dutch control. The coin features the British monarch, King George III, on one side and the value of 2 Reales on the other. This coin is a rare example of a British-minted coin used in the Netherlands Antilles and is highly sought after by collectors.
