Hawaii Plantation Tokens are a type of collectible coin issued in the 19th century, specifically around 1871, to facilitate commerce on sugar plantations in Hawaii. These tokens were used as a form of currency in lieu of traditional money, often representing small denominations. Their design typically reflects Hawaiian culture and the plantation economy of the time. As collectibles, they are valued by numismatists for their historical significance and rarity, particularly those tied to early Hawaiian history and the sugar industry.
