Provisional Government of Hawaii Transfer Medal
Interesting item recently sold on eBay. Postmark indicates it’s a 1973 issue. This medal was previously identified by me, but I never knew it was part of a postal cover.
Previous Interest – Territorial Gold
I once owned two gold slugs. This is an 1851 $50 Lettered Edge (LE) Humbert 880. It’s longer in my collection.
Not Really A Hawaiian Item…But I had to Share
I created this a few days a go. After clicking the center start button, click the YouTube logo (bottom right), and display the video full screen.
Turn up your volume, enjoy the music, and watch ….
Earliest Bi-Metal Hawaii Related Coin?
The 1989 date beats the bi-metal issues from the Royal Hawaiian Mint by 6 years.
The 2nd only medal of this type I’ve seen. Search the keyword: Hawaii. It will be the third hit.

Hawaii 100 Duke Kahanamoku Corporation Dollars
Interesting listing from Banknotes.com http://www.banknotes.com/hi4dkc.htm
This listing has a Hawaii NORFED certificate.
The listing is missing many others from Hawaiian Money: Standard Catalog “Second Edition”. http://www.banknotes.com/hi.htm
Recent Acquisition 2MN-680
I finally obtained a bronze version of 2MN-680 that pairs with my silver version. Seems that I have a Duke Kahanamoku theme exhibit in the works from fraternal medal, HSNA medals, so-called dollar, Franklin Mint issues, and Duke’s Corp dollar (discusses in next blog entry).
