Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - Whitty and Brown (Sydney; New South Wales) ND from New South Wales (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 14 g is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in the colony, and private tokens like this one were used as a substitute for official currency.
