| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse of this triangular cut segment displays the corresponding portion of the original Spanish 8 Reales host coin's reverse design, heavily worn and partially obscured by the cutting and subsequent circulation. The curved upper edge retains traces of the host coin's original denticulated border, and faint remnants of the pillar-and-waves or armorial design typical of Spanish colonial milled coinage may be discerned in the field, though specifics are largely effaced. No additional countermark or official stamp is applied to this side. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Between 1819 and 1825, the Dutch colonial authorities on Curaçao counterstamped Spanish American 2 reales pieces to authorize their circulation at an elevated local valuation. The island's chronic shortage of official coinage — a persistent problem throughout the Caribbean — made improvised solutions like this a practical necessity rather than a temporary fix.
The "C7" punch specifically denotes the countermark applied under Governor-General Cornelis Rammelman Elsevier's administration. Host coins vary considerably in origin and condition, meaning no two examples in this series are strictly identical.
