    The Bremen is a 1 grote, the GB with William IV is a maundy piece, while the GB with Victoria is actually a play piece made by Lauer from Germany...

    From the US Mint website:

    "Following is a brief chronology of the metal composition of the cent coin (penny)"

    If the people who make them can call them pennies (among other things), I think everyone else can, too. image

    The small "British" one at top right is a piece of German-made play money, with the manufacturer's details replacing the queen's titles: CHR:LAUER NURNBERG.
