Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Cayenne-Stuiver coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the Netherlands Antilles, specifically on the island of Sint Maarten, during the early 19th century. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it has a unique design featuring a countermark with the letters "C20" and a fleur-de-lis symbol, which sets it apart from other coins of its time. Additionally, the fact that it's made of billon, a type of alloy composed of copper and silver, adds to its distinctiveness.
