1991 Hawaiian Silver Ounce - RHM X#MB55, Princess Victoria

Coin Details

Description

The 1991-RHM (Royal Hawaiian Mint) Princess Victoria silver ounce, Krause X#MB55, is the silver companion to the gold Princess Kaiulani issues of the same year. This piece features the same portrait theme of Princess Victoria Kaiulani, offering collectors a more affordable precious metal option compared to the gold one-ounce versions. The transition from THM (The Hawaiian Mint) to RHM (Royal Hawaiian Mint) branding during this period reflects changes in the business behind Hawaiian commemorative production, though the target market and product characteristics remained largely consistent. Both entities produced one-ounce silver pieces as their core product, with gold and fractional sizes serving as premium and entry-level options respectively. The Princess Kaiulani silver ounce from the Royal Hawaiian Mint represents an important piece in the broader series of Hawaiian princess commemoratives. Multiple mint mark variants (THM and RHM) and catalog numbers across gold and silver compositions provide collectors with a range of acquisition targets centered on this beloved Hawaiian historical figure.

Rarity Notes

Uncommon. Silver one-ounce Hawaiian Mint pieces had typical mintages of 500-2,000. The Kaiulani theme ensures steady collector demand.
