The countermarked stuivers of St. Bartholomew were studied and recorded by Frank Olrog over a period of many years. A number of stamps were used from 1797 until at least 1834; often the exact types are difficult to identify because of the generally poor condition of the coins. The cataloguer has used Olrog’s Med Svensk Krona, den svenska kolonien S:t Barthelemys mynthistoria 1784-1878 (Stockholm, 1978), as the reference for the coins listed below. The type numbers are illustrated on p.22.
