Interesting fact
The A Token 10 Cents 1913 from Cocos (Keeling) Islands (Australia) made of Plastic (plastic ivory) is a unique and rare coin that has a fascinating history. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was created as a form of currency for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, which were previously uninhabited and were used as a coconut plantation. The coin was made of plastic ivory, a material that was used as a substitute for real ivory, which was scarce at the time. This coin is a testament to the resourcefulness and innovation of the people who lived and worked on the islands, and it is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
