Obviously, this piece is highly overlooked by the Hawaiiana specialist…

This is a historical person with ties to the Territory of Hawaii. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_Nimitz

He even has a Highway named for him on the island of Oahu. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaii_Route_92

I know it was an oversight in being omitted in the M&R book.

As a Hawaiiana Numismatist, it therefore is recognized as a desired piece for the serious  Hawaiian collection.

Update: I pulled out my 2M-361 (aka Pearl Harbor 25th Anniversary) and snapped some new pictures with its miniature plaque (similar to the Nimitz)
