The Haiku Sugar Plantation was located in north central Maui. The first sugar operation on the site was started in 1858 and was reformed as the Haiku Sugar Plantation by two men from Wailuku Sugar Company in 1879. Medcalt & Russell note that these are, “undoubtedly the most artistic and well struck of the early metal tokens.” They were possibly made in San Francisco.
