Singapore Forgery Merchant Tokens Two Keping Duit Ayam.
Singapore Fighting Cock Merchant Token (Forgery)
This is a Singapore forgery merchant token with the denomination of two Keping. As I mentioned in my earlier post:THE FIRST PENNY OF AUSTRALIA (1911) , beside the 1911 Australia First Bronze Penny, my classmate  Mr. Lim Kok Onn also had given me a piece of counterfeit Singapore Cockerel Merchant Copper Token for my research.

It was quite a unique contemporary counterfeit Two Keping Singapore Fighting Cock Token dated 1247AH (1831). I believed it was a casted copper coin. Indeed, I asked him to find more pieces for me for my research. At last he got me a few more pieces for me to share with others. One piece was casted in bronze.
