Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Anderson's, D - Wellington) ND from New Zealand made of Copper weighing 7.6g is that it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in New Zealand, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official coins.
