| Obverse description | A parrot ('papegaai') perched facing left on a diagonal branch bearing a single leaf, rendered in low relief with crude hammered style typical of 17th-century colonial copper coinage. The numeral '1' appears above the bird in the upper field, denoting the denomination. Along the lower portion of the field, the Latin legend AN·1679 is inscribed, with 'AN' serving as an abbreviation for 'Anno' (year), followed by the date 1679. The flan is irregular and shows characteristic surface roughness consistent with primitive hammered production. |
