| Beschrijving voorzijde | A parrot facing left, perched upon a leafed branch, rendered in low relief in a naive hammered style characteristic of early colonial copper coinage. The numeral '1' appears in the upper field above the bird, denoting the denomination. A horizontal line separates the central device from the lower legend, below which the inscription 'AN・1679' is struck in Latin characters, with 'AN' serving as an abbreviation for 'Anno' (year). The coin's periphery displays a rudimentary beaded border, irregular in execution due to the hand-hammering technique. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Uniface coin; the reverse is entirely plain, presenting a flat, unworked copper surface devoid of any design, legend, or ornamentation, consistent with its classification as a uniface issue produced by hammering a single die. |

Suriname had been under English control until 1667, when the Treaty of Breda exchanged the colony for New Amsterdam — what would become New York. The Dutch West India Company assumed administration, and local coinage was an immediate practical necessity. This duit was among the earliest monetary issues produced specifically for Surinamese circulation, struck uniface as a deliberate cost-cutting measure rather than technical limitation.
The "Papegaaitje" designation, a Dutch diminutive referencing the parrot, distinguishes this type within a broader family of WIC colonial issues. The Scholt reference places it among a handful of survivors.
