Probably unique. Baker Sale 1987 $4,000.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Regal Imitation - George III right, uniface) ND (1835) from Canadian provinces (Canada) made of Copper weighing 3.2 g is that it was used as a substitute for the official British halfpenny coin during a time of currency shortage in Canada. The coin was minted by a private company and was not officially sanctioned by the British government, but it was still widely accepted as a form of payment. This coin is a unique piece of Canadian numismatic history and is highly sought after by collectors today.
