| Aversbeschreibung | A parrot ('papegaai') perched facing right on a curved branch bearing two leaves, rendered in bold relief against an unadorned field. The numeral '2' appears in the upper field above the bird, indicating the denomination. A horizontal line divides the lower field, below which the legend 'N · 1679' is struck, with 'N' serving as an abbreviation for 'Anno' and '1679' recording the date of issue. The design is characteristically crude in execution, consistent with the primitive hammered coinage produced for early colonial Suriname. |

| Reversbeschreibung | A stylized ornamental tree with symmetrically scrolling foliate branches springs from a short trunk, its roots rising from two undulating wavy lines representing water. The tree's canopy expands into four large curling fronds in a fleur-de-lis-like arrangement, filling the field. The entire design is enclosed within a border of short radial dashes or tick marks forming a partial inner circle near the rim. The execution is bold but rough, typical of the hammered copper coinage struck for early Dutch colonial Suriname. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
The so-called "Papegaaitje" — Little Parrot — coinages of Suriname were produced for the Dutch colony following England's transfer of the territory to the Netherlands under the 1667 Treaty of Breda, where the Dutch famously exchanged what would become New York to retain this sugar-producing territory. Suriname's plantation economy required low-denomination coinage for local transactions, and these provincial copper pieces were among the earliest coins struck specifically for Dutch colonial Suriname.
The "Tree" subtype designation distinguishes this from other Papegaaitje varieties catalogued by Scholt, reflecting documented die differences within this early series.
