Interesting fact
The A Token 1 Penny - Southward and Sumpton (Ballarat; Victoria) ND (1856) coin is interesting because it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it weighed 16.6g, which is slightly heavier than the standard weight for a penny coin. This could indicate that the coin was made with a higher level of craftsmanship or attention to detail, or that it was intended for a specific purpose or audience.
