Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - Alfred Davies, Pawnbroker (Fremantle; Western Australia) 1865 from Western Australia (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 10.8 g is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in Western Australia, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official currency.
