1991 Hawaiian Silver 1/10 Ounce - X#MB77

Coin Details

Description

The 1991 Hawaiian Mint 1/10 ounce silver piece, Krause X#MB77, completes the trio of fractional silver designs issued in 1991. Each of the three 1/10 ounce issues (MB75, MB76, MB77) features a distinct Hawaiian-themed design, creating a small collectible set within the broader Hawaiian Mint program. The three-design format for a single year and denomination indicates a deliberate marketing strategy by the Hawaiian Mint, encouraging collectors to assemble complete sets. This approach was common among private mints during the early 1990s bullion boom, when collector demand for themed precious metal pieces supported multiple designs across various metallic compositions and sizes. The MB77 shares the standard specifications of the 1991 fractional program: 1/10 troy ounce (approximately 3.11 grams) of.999 fine silver. The specific design elements distinguish it from its companion pieces, making the complete 1991 fractional set an attainable goal for Hawaiian numismatic collectors.

Rarity Notes

Scarce. Mintage consistent with other 1991 Hawaiian Mint fractional issues, approximately 500-1,500 pieces.
