Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (UCC Birmingham - Bradford Workhouse Overstamp) 1812 from United Kingdom is that it was created as a result of a shortage of official coins in circulation at the time. To address this issue, local authorities and private companies began issuing their own tokens, like this one, which were accepted as payment in local commerce. This coin's unique design and history make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
