Interesting fact
The A Token 1 Penny Token - Victoria 1843 from New Brunswick (Canadian provinces) made of Copper weighing 17.6 g is a rare and valuable coin. It is considered a token coin, which means it was issued by a private entity, rather than a government, and was used as a substitute for official currency. This coin is particularly interesting because it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in the Canadian provinces, and it features a unique design that is different from other coins issued during the same period. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper and weighs 17.6 grams makes it stand out from other coins of the time, which were typically made of silver or gold and had a different weight.
