Comment
Due to the lack of information on the countermarking of these coins, no date or intention can be given.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique countermark, which is a square-shaped stamp that displays the number "3" in the center. This countermark was applied to the coin by the Dutch mint as a way to indicate that it was issued specifically for use in the Netherlands Antilles, a former Dutch colony in the Caribbean. The countermark is a distinctive feature that sets this coin apart from other coins of the same denomination and era.
