Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - George III (John McTurk) 1830 from Isle of Man (British Crown dependencies) made of Copper weighing 13.8g is that it was minted during a time when the Isle of Man was experiencing a shortage of official currency, leading to the use of private token coins like this one as a substitute for official currency.
