Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - S. Hague Smith (Auckland) ND (1863-1869) from New Zealand is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it's unusual to see a coin made of copper that weighs 14.4 grams, as most coins of that era were made of bronze or other alloys. This coin's weight suggests that it may have been intended for use as a token or a store of value, rather than as a circulating coin.
