Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Milner and Thomson (Large Series - Christchurch) 1881 from New Zealand is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the late 19th century. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper in coins has largely been discontinued in modern times due to the metal's tendency to corrode and degrade over time. Today, coins are typically made from more durable materials like nickel, bronze, or a combination of metals.
