Description:
1 Penny token. One definition of an English penny during this period was a coin that contained one full ounce of copper. This token appears to be making the point that coinage was more reliable than any paper money the government might issue. This token appeared during the time that Great Britain had girded itself up to finish the fight against Napoleon.
