Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - R. Grieve (Eaglehawk, Victoria) 1862 coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, it's worth noting that the use of copper in coins was eventually replaced by other metals, such as nickel and cupro-nickel, due to its high corrosion rate and lack of durability.
