Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Cent (Madras) 1825-1828 coin from Penang (British East Indies) is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coinage during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper for coins was eventually replaced by other metals, such as nickel and cupro-nickel, due to concerns about durability and the potential for copper to react with certain chemicals and corrode over time.
