Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Fenwick Brothers' 1 Penny Token is that it was made of brass, which was a common material used for coins in the 19th century, but it was also made in copper, which is a less common material for coins. This variety in materials used in its production adds to its unique character and collectibility.
