HT-12 is one of five Running Boar Hard Times tokens (HT-9 to 13). It has the same dies as HT-13 which is copper. They both have the boar pointing it's nose at the C in CREDIT on the obverse and Jackson with wide shoulders on the reverse. (die 2) with wide shoulders. HT-11 and 13 also have wide shoulders. The hole in the pictured example was added sometime after it was minted. HT-12 is brass while HT-12A is silvered brass.
