Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - Murray & Christie - Advance Victoria Mule (Castlemaine; Victoria) 1862 from Victoria (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 14.2g is that it is a rare and highly sought-after coin among collectors. It is considered a mule coin, meaning it has the obverse (front) die of one coin and the reverse (back) die of another coin, which makes it a unique and error-filled coin. This particular coin is one of only 300 minted, making it a highly valuable piece for collectors of Australian numismatics.
