Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Beaven, S. (Invercargill) 1863 from New Zealand is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time, but it's unusual to see a coin made of copper that weighs 9.1 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size.
