Issued in 1868 then scraped (or sent to NZ or other colonies) as de-monetized in NSW later that year.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token ½ Penny - J. Macgregor (Sydney; New South Wales) ND (1868) coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the 19th century, but it weighed only 5.5 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar size and denomination.
