| Aversbeschreibung | 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. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Suriname had been English until 1667, when the Dutch traded it away in the Treaty of Breda — surrendering the colony in exchange for New Amsterdam, which would become New York. This duit was struck just over a decade into Dutch administration of the colony, making it among the earliest coinage issued specifically for Surinamese circulation. The "Papegaaitje" nickname — Little Parrot — derives from the tree type on the reverse, a local colloquial designation that stuck among collectors long after the official nomenclature faded.
Scholt II#1436a distinguishes this variety from later tree duits by specific die characteristics. Survivors are scarce; colonial copper in tropical climates rarely made it back to Europe in collectible condition.
