Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - D.T. Mulligan (Rockhampton; Queensland) 1863 from Queensland (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 14.8 g is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in Queensland, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official currency.
