| Beschrijving keerzijde | Uniface issue; the reverse is entirely blank, presenting a plain, unworked silver surface devoid of any design, inscription, or ornamental detail. This is characteristic of emergency klippe coinage struck under siege or wartime conditions, where expediency precluded the use of a reverse die. The surface shows the natural texture of the hammered silver flan. |

This piece dates to the final months of Dutch control over northeastern Brazil — the Recife mint operated under the WIC (West India Company) only while the company held its Brazilian territories, and by January 1654 that grip was gone. The Portuguese reconquest, completed after a prolonged siege, ended Dutch Brazil permanently. Coins struck at Recife in 1654 were almost certainly minted before the surrender was formalized in late January, making them among the very last issues of a colonial monetary experiment that had lasted barely three decades.
Survivors are genuinely scarce. The colony's collapse meant no sustained local circulation, and most company assets — including coin stocks — were subject to seizure or dispersal upon capitulation.
