Details

Various counterfeits of provincial coins were struck in Birmingham in the 19th century. One of the coins that was forged was the 2 stuiver Holland 1791 (2 stuiver 1786 Utrecht is also a known one). The coins are for trade in Malaysia. The value of these coins is roughly equivalent to a real double penny. The Birmingham coins are struck from nickel instead of silver. Source: Mooiemuntjes.
