AH1299 (1882) Pysa

Copper
Mintage: 4,640,000
Kind of ugly, but it fills a gap until something better comes along.

Mine is a bit better, but not imaged of course :o

These are interesting coins, from a place that has the dubious distinction of having lost the shortest declared war in history, a total of 38 minutes, to the British in 1898 or so.  Accd to the old Guinness Book of World Records.
