Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Birmingham - Crown Copper Company) 1811 from United Kingdom is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, the use of copper for coins was eventually phased out in favor of other materials, such as nickel and cupro-nickel, due to the wear and tear that copper coins experienced from circulation. Today, copper coins are no longer used as legal tender in most countries, but they remain a popular collector's item among numismatists.
