1959 Silver Medal 2MS-2 Hawaii Statehood

Coin Details

Description

This 1959 silver medal, cataloged as 2MS-2, commemorates Hawaiian Statehood — the admission of Hawaii as the 50th state of the United States on August 21, 1959. Statehood was the culmination of decades of political effort and a 1959 plebiscite in which Hawaiian residents voted overwhelmingly for admission. The silver composition reflects the significance of this historic milestone, which completed the roster of fifty states that defines the modern United States. Hawaiian statehood medals were produced by various mints and private issuers to mark the occasion, with the 2MS-2 catalog number identifying this specific variety. Statehood commemoratives are popular with both Hawaiian collectors and those assembling state-themed numismatic collections. The 1959 date places this among the first generation of statehood celebration items.
