Coin Details

Description

This silvered medal from the 1976-1989 era depicts a Kauai dollar trade token, cataloged as Medcalf-2MD-869 in the Medcalf reference for Hawaiian numismatic items. Kauai, known as the Garden Isle, is the oldest and northernmost of the main Hawaiian Islands. Trade dollar tokens for Kauai were produced for local commerce and tourism promotion, similar to programs on other Hawaiian islands. The silvered finish elevates this piece above standard base metal trade tokens. Hawaiian island-specific trade tokens form a popular subset of the broader Hawaiian numismatic collecting field, with pieces from each island having their own following among collectors. The market for modern commemorative medallions and tokens has expanded with the growth of online commerce, enabling producers to reach global audiences and collectors to access pieces from manufacturers they might never encounter at traditional numismatic venues. The Medcalf catalog number 2MD-869 places this within the comprehensive reference system for Hawaiian medals and tokens.
