Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Campbell, James (Morpeth; New South Wales) ND (1854) coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the 19th century, but it's unusual for a penny coin to weigh 15 grams, as most pennies from that time period were made of bronze and weighed only a few grams.
