Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token ½ Penny (Worcestershire - Worcester / J. Knapp Jnr) 1813 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of small denomination coins in circulation, leading to the use of private tokens like this one as a substitute for official currency.
