| Beschrijving voorzijde | Host coin is a French Cayenne Colony 2 Sous piece bearing a crowned shield displaying three fleur-de-lis arranged in a triangular pattern, encircled by a colonial legend. Superimposed upon the obverse field are two applied countermarks: the cursive monogram 'STM' (catalogue reference C16), denoting Sint Maarten, and the single letter 'M' (catalogue reference C20), both struck to validate the host coin for local circulation. The countermarks are punch-applied and appear in the field adjacent to the crowned central device. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sint Maarten's acute coin shortage in the early nineteenth century led colonial authorities to countermark whatever foreign silver-copper coinage happened to be circulating on the island. The "Cayenne-Stuiver" designation reflects the host coin's origin: French Guiana issues that had drifted northward through Caribbean trade networks. Applying two separate countermarks — C16 and C20 — was not redundancy but sequential revalidation, each punch representing a distinct administrative authorization at different points in the coin's sanctioned life on the island.
