Interesting fact
The A Token 1 Penny - Victoria 1843 from Nova Scotia (Canadian provinces) made of Copper weighing 16.8 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 Nova Scotia, and it helped to fill that gap. Additionally, the fact that it was made of copper, a relatively inexpensive metal, makes it even more remarkable that it has survived in such good condition.
