Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Middlesex - Moore's Lace Manufactory) 1795 from United Kingdom is that it was issued by a private company, Moore's Lace Manufactory, during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in circulation. This coin was made of copper and had a value of 1/2 penny, which was a significant amount at that time. Despite being issued by a private company, it was widely accepted as a form of payment and was used by many people in their everyday transactions.
