St Bartholomew, Styver, a 1789 Cayenne 2 Sous countermarked with a Swedish crown (Pr. -; Olrog -), coin and countermark very fine but the top of the countermark not struck up, a very rare coin from this punch Estimate £ 100-120 Olrog, in Svensk Numismatisk Tidskrift Feb 1993, published 14 different St Barts crown stamps, but this is not one of them. It is, however, known from another coin and is a contemporary coin and not a modern forgery, although only testing of the host coin would help determine if this is another official punch.
