| Obverse description | Countermark 'STM' within a beaded circle, applied to the obverse of a French Cayenne Colony 2 Sous host coin. The host coin displays a royal crown above three fleur-de-lis arranged in a triangular formation, all enclosed within a circular legend. The countermark serves as a validation mark authorizing the host coin for circulation in Sint Maarten. The design elements of the host coin reflect French colonial iconography typical of early nineteenth-century Cayenne coinage. |
