Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Joseph Moir (Hobart; Tasmania) ND (1862) 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 era were made of bronze and weighed around 1/4 ounce or 7.3 grams.
