Medcalf & Russell lacked stating the mintage.
Also listed as FMR-E05 in my book, The Hawaiiana Numismatist’s Catalog of Franklin Mint Issues Relating to Hawaii. http://www.amazon.com/Hawaiiana-Numismatists-Catalog-Franklin-Relating/dp/1496144821/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408672878&sr=8-1&keywords=the+hawaiiana+numismatist
Mintage is finally stated as 2,216 in this book.
One of the overlooked items is that most specimens are taken out of its COA (yes the envelope reverse is a COA). It is very difficult to locate specimens intact in its original envelope.
The reason I am discussing this medal is that within a weeks time, I located two specimens and acquired both for my collection. (I am both a postal cover collector and medal collector relating to Hawaii). One is addressed to an US address and the other to a Canada address. I’ve been searching for intact specimens for the longest time and all of a sudden two appear for sale.
