Suriname
Dutch Guiana biface copper 2 Duit 1679 VF35 Brown NGC, KM3, Scholten 1435a. An immensely popular early colonial type, depicting a parrot in a tree on the obverse and an ornamental tree amongst waves on the reverse. Generally found as a uniface issue, this charming specimen exhibits pleasing detail to both obverse and reverse, clearly circulated in line with the Very Fine certification but otherwise bold and handsomely toned. A similar specimen we offered in the Dana Roberts Collection April 2011 graded VF20 ANACS realized $1,600 hammer, and we anticipate even stronger bidding for this higher-graded example seven years on.
