Interesting fact
The Token Penny Token 1822 from Ireland made of Copper weighing 14.6g is an interesting coin because it was issued during a time when there was a shortage of official currency in Ireland, and private companies and individuals issued their own tokens to fill the gap. This coin is a rare example of a privately issued token that was used as a form of currency during that time.
