| Beschrijving voorzijde | A parrot (the so-called 'Papegaaitje') perched facing left on a branch bearing three leaves, rendered in a primitive but vigorous hammered style. The numeral '4' appears in the upper field above the bird, denoting the denomination. Below the branch, a horizontal line separates the central device from the inscription in the lower exergue. The date AN · 1679 is struck along the bottom of the coin, with 'AN' serving as an abbreviation for Anno. The entire design is enclosed within a toothed or milled border running around the full circumference of the flan. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A highly stylised ornamental tree or plant device occupies the full field, its symmetrical scrolling branches curling outward and upward in a decorative baroque manner, with small pellets or buds at the terminals. The trunk rises from a double wavy line at the base, representing water or ground, and the overall composition is strongly symmetrical about a central vertical axis. The entire device is enclosed within a toothed or milled border matching that of the obverse. No legend or inscription appears on this side. The design is unlettered and purely decorative, characteristic of the primitive coinage produced for early Dutch colonial Suriname. |

Suriname passed from English to Dutch control in 1667 under the Treaty of Breda — the same agreement by which England retained New York in exchange. The colony's earliest copper coinage followed years later as plantation commerce demanded small change that Dutch merchants were reluctant to ship across the Atlantic in quantity. These "Papegaaitje" pieces, named informally for their parrot imagery, were produced for local circulation and never intended for the metropolitan market.
The branch-with-three-leaves variety distinguishes this from closely related die types catalogued under Scholt II, a distinction that matters considerably to specialists given how few examples have survived without heavy verdigris damage from tropical burial conditions.
