Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Warwickshire - Wilkinson / Camac Kyan and Camac) ND (1787-1795) from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time of severe coinage shortages in the late 18th century. The coin was minted by a private company, Camac Kyan and Camac, and was one of many tokens issued by various companies and individuals to address the shortage of official currency. Despite being made of copper, the token had a relatively high value and was widely accepted in trade.
