| 背面描述 | Reverse of the host coin, a Spanish colonial silver real struck at the Mexican Mint (Mo), showing the crowned royal arms of Castile and León within a shield, flanked by the pillars of Hercules with partial legends. The surface bears the wear and corrosion typical of countermarked host coins that circulated extensively prior to the application of the Saint Barthelemy countermark. |

Saint Barthélemy passed from French to Swedish control in 1784, and the Swedes administered it as a free port under the name Gustavia. The island's colonial coinage was struck in the early nineteenth century to address a chronic shortage of small change in the Caribbean trade economy. The stiver denomination itself derives from Dutch monetary tradition, an odd inheritance for a Swedish-administered French island — a colonial palimpsest in metal.
KM#4 is among the scarcer issues of this short-lived colonial series, the Swedish period ending when France repurchased the island in 1878.
