Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token 1 Penny - William Andrew Jarvey (Hobart; Tasmania) ND (1862) from Tasmania (Australian States) made of Copper weighing 14.5g is that it was created during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in Tasmania, and private tokens like this one were issued by businesses and individuals to fill the gap. This coin is a rare example of a privately issued token that was used as a form of currency in the 19th century.
