Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token 1 Penny (Worcestershire - Nail and Trace Manufactory / J. Forrest) 1811 from United Kingdom is that it was issued during a time when there was a severe shortage of official currency in circulation, leading to the use of private token coins like this one as a means of exchange.
