| Obverse description | Square klippe flan with the interlaced GWC monogram of the Geoctroyeerde Westindische Compagnie prominently struck in the center, flanked by the numeral X denoting the denomination of 10 stuivers and the date 1654, all enclosed within a beaded circle. The design is characteristic of emergency coinage produced at the Recife Mint in Dutch Brazil during the final stages of Portuguese reconquest. The strike is crude and typical of hastily produced siege or emergency issues, with the legends and devices unevenly distributed across the irregular klippe flan. |
