ST. EUSTATIUS: Dutch Colony, BI stuiver (1.55g), ND (1809), KM-4, Sc-1429a, Pridmore pgs. 262-3, Vlack-418, DeMey-93/3, SE and P countermarks on DM (date obliterated) Cayenne 2 sous (KM-1), nice full countermarks on quite worn host, VF on AG host, R6 (Vlack). It was determined that only genuine Cayenne stuivers would be used as currency on St. Eustatius, and these were countermarked "SE" for St. Eustatius by Peter dit Flamand. In 1809, there were so many counterfeits in circulation that an additional "P" stamp was applied to genuine pieces. These counterstamps appear in different styles, and this piece has identical countermarks as the one sold at Heritage Europe / MPO Auction 42, Lot 2279.
Estimate: 250-350 USD
