Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - Buxton J.W. (Brisbane; Queensland) ND from Queensland (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 14.6 g is that it was issued by a private individual, Buxton J.W., rather than a government or official mint. This token was likely used as a form of currency in the local area, and its design and production were not regulated by any central authority. This fact highlights the diversity and creativity of currency designs in the past, and how different regions and communities have used currency as a means of exchange and expression.
