Except for the listed exceptions, the token copies exactly what was printed on the original enchantment and nothing else (unless that enchantment is itself copying something else; see below). It doesn't copy whether that permanent is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras attached to it, or any non-copy effects that have changed its power, toughness, types, color, and so on.
