Hard to Find Hawaii State 49th Image
I located this Hawaii State 49 image while performing more research. Tough to locate….The white stripes (and reduced size) is my doing to prevent re-use by others (it took time to located this image).
While Researching I Came Upon This
The year 1950 in the mock-up of the State of Hawaii seal was created by the Hawaii Statehood Commission.

Another item for my “Hawaii 49th State collection”. Published by Hawaii Statehood Commission, Washington DC, March 15, 1948
Hawaii the 49th State
I was looking for related material for a future coin exhibit entry. There was one brochure I wanted to get my hands on, but it’s part of the National Archive.

1996 Royal Hawaiian Mint RIMPAC Variety 2
A recent eBay auction listed a newly identified variety of the 1996 Royal Hawaiian Mint RIMPAC medal. The obverse feature a hula girl instead of the attack on Pearl Harbor.
This is the version (page 3, bottom) listed in Waifs in Gold Boots (RHM database).

If you carefully look at the listing of the RIMPAC in Waifs in Gold Boots, the number 165 is listed under the 420. It is my best guess that the RIMPAC hula girl medal was to be filled in after the Pearl Harbor RIMPAC medal.
