Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny - Campbell, James (Morpeth; New South Wales) ND (1854) coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the 19th century, but it's unusual to see a coin made of copper that weighs as much as 7.7 grams. Most coins of that time and material would have been much lighter.
