Although dated 1844, this is a Civil War token as it is believed that the dies were engraved and the medals struck in late 1864 or early 1865. The reverse is the Rhode Island shield with the date "1844" below. The reason for the date is mysterious. Perhaps it has something to do with the Millerite movement which predicted the return of Jesus Christ that year.
The obverse shows A pheasant hunter taking aim on his prey. The exquisite engraving is similar to the engraving of other Rhode Island Civil War tokens, like the "Hunting Dogs" and are ascribed to that same artist. The size is 34 mm - about the size of a half dollar. This is a R9 token, with under four examples believed to have been struck.
