Comment
Varieties and mules existInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Bank Token) 1813 from Jersey (British Crown dependencies) made of Copper weighing 17.4g is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in Jersey, leading to the use of private tokens like this one as a substitute for official currency.
