| 表面の説明 | Plain concave field bearing the incuse abbreviation 'P.E.I' struck in bold, serif capital letters at center, separated by raised dots, serving as the sole identifying legend on this uniface emergency issue. The lettering is crudely but deliberately applied, reflecting the utilitarian nature of the piece as a makeshift circulating token issued during a period of acute coin shortage in Prince Edward Island. The field is unadorned, with no border ornamentation, devices, or additional inscriptions. The surface exhibits the characteristic patina and wear consistent with emergency copper coinage of the early nineteenth century. |

The McCausland token was struck in 1813 to address a chronic small-change shortage that plagued Prince Edward Island throughout the early nineteenth century — a problem common to most British North American colonies, where official copper coinage from London arrived sporadically and in quantities never adequate for local commerce. The uniface nature of this piece is unusual even within the already irregular world of colonial merchant tokens, with the blank reverse suggesting either a production shortcut or a damaged die that was pressed into service regardless.
CCT PE-2 attribution places this among the earliest documented copper tokens specific to the island.
