Obverse description	Central device depicting a parrot ('papegaai') perched facing left atop a leafy branch, rendered in bold relief with clearly articulated plumage and talons. The denomination numeral '2' appears prominently in the upper right field. A horizontal exergual panel at the base of the design bears the Latin inscription 'AN・1679', indicating the year of issue. The coin's periphery is bordered by a beaded or rope-like inner rim. The overall die work is characteristic of provincial hammered coinage, with a somewhat irregular flan typical of the period.
