Interesting fact

The A Token 1 Penny - Hall, H. J. (Christchurch) ND coin from New Zealand made of Copper is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. It was minted in the late 19th century and features a unique design, with the image of a Maori chief on one side and the coat of arms of New Zealand on the other. The coin was minted during a time when New Zealand was still a colony of Great Britain, and it was used as a substitute for the official British penny coin. Today, it is considered a valuable piece of numismatic history and is highly sought after by collectors.
