| Additional information |
Saint Eustatius — locally called "Statia" — is a special municipality of the Netherlands with a population under 4,000, making this issue one of the smallest-circulation local coinages struck in the modern Caribbean. The 2½ dollar denomination mirrors the old Dutch rijksdaalder tradition of fractional-two-and-a-half units, a stubborn arithmetical habit the Dutch carried across centuries and oceans.
The island uses the Eastern Caribbean dollar as its official currency, which makes this piece a collector-directed local issue rather than a coin that ever saw meaningful everyday use.
