Originally made of copper and about 20 mm in diameter, the Papegaai Duit features a parrot perched on a branch with one to four leaves, indicating the coin’s value, while the reverse is often blank or adorned with a decorative tree. Parrots, beloved across Suriname, were chosen for the country’s first coins, which represented 1, 2, and 4 pounds of sugar, with each pound equaling one stuiver (five cents). To make these values easy to recognize, the coins used visual cues: a branch with one leaf for 1 stuiver, two leaves for 2 stuivers, and four leaves for 4 stuivers. This carefully crafted restrike honors Suriname’s rich history and its milestone of 50 years of independence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"affordablebullion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219052613961,"sku":null,"price":82.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0976\/9061\/6137\/files\/4FAFE7DF-C066-4F39-9440-2CFEDEB50D8F.jpg?v=1776461243","url":"https:\/\/affordablebullion.co.uk\/products\/2025-netherlands-1oz-pure-silver-coin-parrot-duit-restrike-buparrot","provider":"affordablebullion","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
