Interesting fact
The Token ½ Penny coin from 1795 features a unique design, with an image of Princess Charlotte of Wales on one side and a crowned shield on the other. It was minted during a time of currency shortages in the United Kingdom, and was one of many privately issued tokens that were used as a substitute for official currency. Despite its age, some of these coins are still in circulation among collectors today.
