Interesting fact
The A Token ½ Penny (Seated justice) 1820 from Lower Canada (Canadian provinces) made of Copper weighing 6.3 g is a rare and valuable coin. It is considered a token coin, which means it was issued by a private entity, rather than a government, to serve as currency. The coin features an image of Lady Justice seated on one side and the denomination on the other. It is interesting to note that the coin was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it is now a rare and valuable collector's item.
