mrwhatisit Pillar of the Community United States 2953 Posts	Posted 06/04/2023 4:59 pm I can't find anything online about this particular token I just bought for 20 cents from a huge bin of mixed foreign coins that I had a field day going through from an antique show yesterday... All coins in this bin/tub were 5 for a dollar Just wondering if others have ran across this token? This also has to date before Hawaii became a state in 1959 since it reads Territory...

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24939 Posts	Posted 06/04/2023 5:31 pm Nice token, mrwhatisit! These are readily available, generally for $10 and up online. I searched for the history of this particular one with no luck. The closest I could find was this article on Hawaii lunch tokens: https://thehawaiiananumismatist.com...unch-tokens/ Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures Edited by HondoB 06/04/2023 5:31 pm Report this Post to the Staff
