| Reversbeschreibung | Quarter-circle cut segment displaying a partial crowned cross of Jerusalem design, characteristic of Spanish colonial coinage, with portions of the quadrant shields visible in the fields. The legend fragment along the straight arc reads M · F · R ·, being part of the original host coin's mint and assayer marks. The reeded edge of the original milled host coin is retained along the curved bottom. The overall design is consistent with an 18th-century Spanish colonial two-real piece used as a host for Dutch West Indies countermarking and cutting operations. The numeral 18 counterstamp, denoting the new valuation of 18 stuivers, is applied to this face. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
In 1797, facing a chronic shortage of small silver currency in its Caribbean colonies, the Dutch West Indies administration counterstamped Spanish colonial two-real pieces with a crowned "C18" punch to revalue and legitimize them for local circulation at 18 stuivers. The practice of countermarking foreign silver was common across the Caribbean at this period, but the Dutch issues are among the more precisely documented, with the Scholt reference cataloguing the known punch varieties in detail.
KM#11.2 distinguishes this subtype by punch placement, which varies enough across the series that misattributions between the .1 and .2 varieties are frequent in less careful catalogs.
