Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Clarkson and Turnbull (Timaru) 1865 from New Zealand is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it weighed 14.2 grams, which is slightly heavier than the standard weight for a penny coin. This could indicate that the coin was minted with a higher level of detail or precision, or that it was intended for a specific purpose or audience.
