Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - J.M. Leigh (Sydney; New South Wales) ND (1854) coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the 19th century, but it's unusual for a penny coin to weigh 14.5 grams, as most pennies from that time period were made of bronze and weighed around 1/4 ounce or 7.3 grams.
