The last token of Prince Edward Island was issued about 1858. The heaviest of local tokens suggests that it represented another attempt by a merchant to circulate Cents. Probably issued by Duncan (see PE-6). It seems that after 1858 Prince Edward Island was amply supplied with copper for there were no more halfpenny issues. The official adoption of the decimal system in 1871 rendered these tokens obsolete.
