Comment

Date range is artificial, as the countermarking had to be done after 1820.

Krause mentions this erroneously as a 2 stuiver coin.

Interesting fact

The Cayenne-Stuiver coin from Sint Maarten (Netherlands Antilles) is interesting because it has a unique countermark, C16 + C20, which indicates that it was issued during a specific time period and has a distinct value.
