Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (British Copper Company - Walthamstow/Landore) 1812 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 the late 19th century due to the rising cost of copper and the introduction of new materials like bronze and cupro-nickel. Today, coins are made from a variety of materials, including nickel-brass, cupro-nickel, and even plastic.
