Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the A Token Halfpenny - Suffolk (Southwold / Town) 1667 from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Brass is that it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official coinage in circulation, leading to the production of private tokens like this one to fill the gap.
