| Obverse description | Central device depicts a slender young tree or sapling with multiple broad, veined leaves branching symmetrically from a single upright stem, rising from a mound of short grass rendered in fine relief. The date 1764 is inscribed in the field, divided by the trunk of the tree with '17' to the left and '64' to the right. The overall composition is set against a plain field with no surrounding legend, giving the design a simple, naturalistic character typical of Dutch colonial copper coinage. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a bold three-line inscription filling the entire field, reading 'SOCIETEIT / VAN / SURINAME' in large, well-spaced capital letters, identifying the issuing authority as the Society of Suriname. No additional devices, borders, or ornamental elements accompany the legend. The plain, unadorned typographic layout is characteristic of Dutch colonial trading company coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |
