Hello,

 

Do you have weight please?

It's about 40 grams - but I don't have a really accurate set of scales

Thank you 40g or 4g? Is it plastic too? 

 

For me it's not the same token. 

Even if the visuals are identical, it is not the same token. The diameter and weight are different.

 

20mm diameter are here: https://fr.numista.com/catalogue/index.php?r=Early+Learning+Centre+1+penny&ct=exonumia

It is highly unlikely that the Early Learning Centre will have produced a coin so small (10mm) as this is very easy for children to swallow.  This is much more likely to be an input error.   Maybe contacting the person who first submitted the page would be the solution.

 

Also, a quick check of the various similar products available at the moment should be enough to convince anyone that toy companies in the 21st Century don't produce something that small for children, and certainly not for sale in the UK where it may even be illegal (remember, it's a UK 1p plastic replica coin).  Besides, I'm not sure anyone produces a modern plastic coin 1cm wide weighing 0.40g - far too dense.

Correct - the measurements on the coin I've identified are wrong.  All three in the catalogue should all be the same size.
