Interesting fact
The Token 1 Penny coin was issued by Henry J. Hall in Christchurch, New Zealand in the late 19th century. It was made of copper and features a unique design, with the obverse side bearing the image of a Maori chief and the reverse side featuring a depiction of a kiwi bird. The coin was intended to serve as a token for use in local trade, but it never gained widespread acceptance and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
