Interesting fact
The 1 Cent Victoria 1845 coin made of copper is interesting because it was minted during a time when the British Empire was still using the traditional Julian calendar, which had a leap year every four years. However, in 1845, the British Empire adopted the Gregorian calendar, which omits a leap day every 100 years. This means that the coin was minted during a year that had 366 days instead of the usual 365 days.
