Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Birmingham and Warwickshire) 1812 from United Kingdom (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Copper is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in circulation, leading to the use of private token coins like this one as a substitute for official currency.
