Comment
According to Scho/II because of this single countermark, the coin is often attributed to Montserrat.Interesting fact
The Cayenne-Stuiver coin from Sint Maarten (Netherlands Antilles) is interesting because it has a unique countermark, known as C20, which was applied to the coin to indicate its use in the French colony of Cayenne, which is now part of French Guiana. This countermark was used to distinguish the coin from other Stuiver coins that were circulating in the Dutch colonies in the Caribbean.
