1995 Medal Grand Opening Silver Royal Hawaiian Mint

Coin Details

Description

This 1995 silver medal commemorates the grand opening of the Royal Hawaiian Mint — a private minting facility established in Hawaii to produce medals, tokens, and commemorative pieces with Hawaiian themes. The Royal Hawaiian Mint positioned itself as a continuation of the Kingdom of Hawaii's numismatic tradition, producing pieces that celebrated Hawaiian history, culture, and sovereignty. Grand opening medals for minting facilities are collected as institutional milestones, documenting the establishment of new producers in the numismatic world. The silver composition reflects the premium nature of this inaugural production. Hawaiian numismatic items from all producers are collected by a dedicated community, and pieces from the Royal Hawaiian Mint's opening carry particular significance as the foundational items of the facility's production history.
