These early Wailuku tokens were struck on site at the blacksmith shop. A journal entry form the shop dated November 1872 records seven days of work to make the dies and punch the tokens. On this occasion, 1060 reals and 1013 hapas were struck, but it is not clear if there were more struck at other times.
