image 1: obverse

image 2: reverse
Country of Origin: Pulau Pinang / Penang / Prince of Wales' Island (Now a part of Malaysia)
Date: 1825
Denomination: 2 Pice (equivalent to 2 Cent, Pice denomination was incorporated because it was minted at Madras Mint)
Weight: 18.79g - 19.05g
Edge: Plain
Dimension: Diameter of 31.5mm
Composition: Copper
Population: 130,300 pieces
Reference: SS32f

    This coin is of variety SS32f, having 31 lily cup in wreath on reverse. 26 to 34 lily cups varieties are listed by Saran Singh. So many varieties, I don't think I can complete it, because even this 2 pice coins are hard to find in the market. All of them in the collectors' hand already?
