This 2 Stuiver is 48% under-weight which may be accounted for by ware during circulation and the probable light shaving of the edge often seen in coins of this Era.

Coins were scanned at 600 dpi and displayed at 300 dpi.
It was purchased in 2016 June within a small coin collection which appears to have been put in a Nidane in the mid 19th century.
