Interesting fact
The A Token ½ Penny - Auctori Plebis “Hispaniola” 1736 from United States (pre-federal and private/territorial) made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that has an interesting history. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by a private company, the Hispaniola Company, which was established in 1736 to trade with the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean. The company was granted permission by the Spanish government to mint coins for use in the colonies, and this coin was one of the few coins minted by the company before it went bankrupt in 1740. As a result, the coin is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a rare and valuable piece of numismatic history.
