Comment

These 1, 2, and 4 duit coins were initially produced with the value of 1, 2 or 4 pounds of sugar respectively, but were illegal. In 1688 they were legalized and got the value of one or multiple duit.

Interesting fact

The 4 Duiten "Papegaaitje" coin from Suriname, made of Copper and weighing 2g, is interesting because it is a uniface coin, meaning it has a design on only one side, unlike most coins that have designs on both sides.
