Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - E.F. Dease (Launceston; Tasmania) ND from Tasmania (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 15 g is that it was issued by a private individual, E.F. Dease, rather than a government or official mint. This coin was part of a series of tokens issued by Dease in the early 19th century to address a shortage of small change in the colony. The coin's design features a simple layout with the denomination and issuer's name on one side and a wreath on the other. Despite its humble origins, this coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
