Interesting fact
The Cayenne Stuiver coin from Sint Maarten (Netherlands Antilles) is interesting because it has a unique history. It was originally minted as a French coin, but later countermarked with a fleur-de-lis symbol by the Dutch, who occupied the island from 1631 to 1810. This coin is a rare example of a coin that has been modified by two different colonial powers, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
