Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny - Stewart and Hemmant (Brisbane and Rockhampton; Queensland) ND (1862) from Queensland (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 12.9 g is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in Queensland, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official currency.
