Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Staffordshire - Cheadle Copper and Brass Co) 1812 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of copper coins in circulation, leading to the use of privately issued tokens like this one as a substitute for official currency.
