Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Tavistock - Devon Mines) 1811 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in circulation, leading to the use of private token coins like this one as a substitute for official currency.
