Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Celestin II Pope - North Wales) ND (1780) from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time of currency shortages in the late 18th century. The coin was minted by a private individual, rather than a government, and was used as a substitute for the official currency of the time. This coin, made of copper, was one of many tokens issued by private companies and individuals in the United Kingdom during this period, and it remains a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
