Description

This is the silver Princess Kaiulani medal of dollar size that Reginald Huth had struck, Medcalf-Russell 2MH-3, dated 1893 and made in 1895. Reginald Huth, a British collector, had John H. Pinches of London strike medals in the style of Hawaiian coins in several metals. The Princess Kaiulani pieces carry the date 1893, her eighteenth birthday, but were struck in 1895; Medcalf and Russell number them 2MH-3 to 2MH-5. They are private medals, not coins of the Kingdom or of the Republic of Hawaii. Sale catalogues describe it with a single dolphin below the bust, where a coin would carry the date. Catalogue numbers: Medcalf-Russell 2MH-3. PCGS number 509649.
