1694 1/2 P Carolina Elephant Token Fine 12. PROPRIETORS. Copper. Thin Planchet. Breen-194. 7.91 grams. The softness of detail in the center of the reverse is diagnostic of this rare Colonial issue.

In his Encyclopedia, Breen (1988) states that only 12 copper strikings of this variety are extant. Listed on page 26 of the 2001 Guide Book.
