1.82 grams (my scale may be off) 21 mm. Scanned through the British India section in Krause, didn't find anything likely.

It looks like a 1 Keping from the British East Indies to me.

Yep, it's for Sumatra.

The British took Sumatra and Ceylon from the Dutch, then gave up Sumatra in return for keeping Ceylon. Good business on their part.

The East India Company issued these coins to gain some semblance of control over commerce, the Dutch had done nothing in that regard and coinage was needed by the locals.
