Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - B. Palmer (Sydney; New South Wales) ND (1857) 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 14.9g, as most pennies from that time period were made of bronze and weighed around 1/4 ounce (6.7 grams).
