Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Bank Token) ND (1813) from Jersey (British Crown dependencies) made of Copper is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in Jersey, and local merchants and traders had to resort to issuing their own tokens to facilitate trade. These tokens were made from a variety of materials, including copper, and were widely accepted as a means of payment on the island. Despite their humble origins, some of these tokens have become highly sought after by collectors today, with some rare examples selling for thousands of pounds.
