Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Alfred Taylor (Adelaide; South Australia) ND (1862) coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the 19th century, but it's unusual for a penny coin to weigh 16.2 grams, as most pennies from that time period were made of bronze and weighed around 9-10 grams. This coin's unusual weight could make it a unique and interesting addition to a coin collection.
