About this Product Full Product Name
 
The Hawaii State quarter is the 50th & final coin in the original 50 States Quarter series. Hawaii was struck at both the Philadelphia and Denver Mints. The US Mint has decided to extend the program in 2009 with the District of Columbia and the 5 US Territories.

The islands of Hawaii were ruled by several Kings until King Kamehameha I united Hawaii in 1810 as sole ruler.

Hawaii's State Quarter features King Kamehameha I stretching his hand toward the 8 Hawaiian Islands. Kamehameha is the 2nd Native American to appear on a circulating U.S. Coin, since Sacagawea. The state's motto is on the coin means: "The life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness."

This State quarter is an uncirculated coin from the Philadelphia Mint. Please keep the coins in their protective airtite coin holder provided to maintain their uncirculated condition.

In December 1997, America's most adventurous coin program became a reality when President Clinton signed legislation authorizing the U.S. Mint to issue the innovative 50 State Quarters collection. Starting in January 1999, each of the 50 states in the Union will be honored on a unique Quarter Dollar commemorative coin. As a result, mintages of each quarter only are to be just a fraction of the "normal" quarters are. The mint marks can be found to the right of George Washington's portrait on the obverse: the small "P" indicates the Philadelphia Mint and the small "D" refers to the Denver.
