Numerous dates and varieties exist.Interesting fact
The A Token ½ Penny (George Rules - North Wales; portrait left) 1756-1789 from United Kingdom (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Copper is an interesting coin because it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in circulation, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute.
