this source states 43,969,204 as a mintage number - we only have 8,601,600 listed

the royal mint states “nearly 44,000,000” - https://www.royalmintmuseum.org.uk/journal/curators-corner/penny/, which implies 43,969,204 would be an accurate number

Should we update to 43,969,204 to match the royal mint and “Matthew Boulton's Copper” sources? I'm unsure where the 8,601,600 came from

There are also private re strikes from the mid nineteenth century
