½ Penny Regal Imitation - George III left, uniface ND

One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Regal Imitation - George III left, uniface) ND (1835) from Canadian provinces (Canada) made of Copper weighing 8.0 g is that it was used as a substitute for the official British halfpenny coin, which was scarce in some parts of Canada during the early 19th century. The coin was produced by private companies and individuals, who were authorized by the government to issue tokens that could be used as currency. This coin, in particular, features an image of King George III on one side and was produced without the permission of the British government, making it a unique and rare piece of numismatic history.
