| Reverse description | The reverse of the host coin bears the denomination and issuing authority inscribed within a circular inner legend, reading '2 SOUS' with the date and 'COLONIE DE CAYENNE' around the periphery within a beaded border. A bold rectangular countermark bearing the letter 'M' — applied by the Sint Maarten colonial authorities circa 1820 — is stamped diagonally across the upper left portion of the field, validating the coin for local circulation as 1 Stuiver. The countermark is deeply impressed and clearly legible despite the worn state of the underlying host coin. |
