The first issue of countermarked stuivers in St. Eustatius was authorised in December 1797. The ‘old brown Cayenne Stivers’ (seemingly to differentiate from other stuivers deemed to be forgeries) were to be countermarked by Peter dit Flamand, with the initials SE. Two general varieties are noted; one an incuse SE, the other SE raised within a circular indent. It is possible that both countermark types are official, but both types occur on Cayenne 2 sous forgeries. However, due to false imitated stamps, further action was authorised in December 1809 for the additional countermark of a P raised with a circular indent to be applied (Peter dit Flamand). Both varieties noted above occur with this additional countermark.
