Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Robert Hyde and Co. 1857 (Melbourne, Victoria) coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material used for coins in the 19th century, but it's unusual to see a coin made of copper that weighs 14.7 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size.
