Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Token Penny - Yorkshire (Skipton - Mary Fenwicke) 1671 from England (United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies) made of Copper (possibly brass) is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin bears an image of a horse and rider, with the rider holding a banner that reads "Skipton Castle" and a shield with the initials "MF" (for Mary Fenwicke) above the horse's head. This design is not found on any other coins from this time period, making it a distinctive and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
