Rare Hawaii token! Copper. Obverse: ONE / * / RIAL. Reverse: HAIKU / 1882. (Wreaths) 23mm diameter. According to Ron Guth (coinfacts.com), these were issued by the Haiku Sugar Plantation and were equivalent in value to a Spanish Real, or roughly a day's wage for plantation workers. The Haiku Sugar Company operated a plantation in Wailuku on the Hawaiian island of Maui from 1858 until 1905 when it merged with the Paia Plantation to form the Maui Agricultural Company.
