Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - John Howell - Hindley Street (Adelaide; South Australia) ND (1857) 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 15.5g, as most pennies from that time period were made of bronze and weighed around 1/4 ounce or 7.3 grams. This coin's unusual weight could make it a rare and interesting addition to a coin collection.
