Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Farthing (Middlesex - May Peace Be Established) ND (1800) from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time of economic hardship and currency shortages in the early 19th century. The coin was minted by a private company, the Middlesex Bank, and was intended to serve as a substitute for the official currency of the time, which was in short supply. The coin's design features a image of a dove and the motto "May Peace Be Established" on one side, and the value of the coin on the other. Despite its small denomination, the coin is now a highly sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
