I was perusing the internet for available Princess Kaiulani coins for my wife’s collection and found this… Mintage is 500 for gold/silver set and 1000 for silver only set. No prices listed on their website.

Confirmed: 1997 Princess Kaiulani 1/10 oz Gold Hapaumi Repunched Date Discovery
Fresh from USPS delivery. I took a few close-up pictures and its is confirmed that it has a repunched date (1 and 7). The 2nd error on gold from the Royal Hawaiian Mint.
Interesting 1997 Princess Kaiulani Hapaumi
I’ve been watching a 1997 Princess Kaiulani Hapaumi 1/10 oz on eBay for some time. Possibly a week or two. Very odd listing and you would bypass it if you did not know what to look for:
- Mintage of 400. 1997 Hapaumi is not listed in Waifs in Gold Boots. The seller may have gotten it mixed up with the 1994 Hapaumi.
- Repunched date. Possibly. The 1 and 7 seems to have a secondary image. If it is, it maybe the second error in the issues from the Royal Hawaiian Mint. The first is the 1996 Kaiulani Hapaha (image added below).
I actually checked my draft Princess Kaiulani book and this coin was not cataloged. I pulled the trigger on the purchase after the eBay 10% eBucks incentive was activated.
1994 Dated Princess Kaiulani Aloha Dala
A previous undocumented 1994 Dated Princess Kaiulani Dala variety was identified. Undocumented in RHM database and my draft Princess Kaiulani book. The COA indicates it was struck in 2010. I just purchased two for my wife’s Princess Kaiulani collection. Three were being sold on eBay by Hawaiian Island Stamp and Coin. As of 2/17/2017, 8:40 Pm EST one is still available.
There are a total of six types of 1994 dated Princess Kaiulani 39 mm silver dala. Each is identified by its reverse die.
- Reverse: Akahi Dala
- Reverse: Princess Dala
- Reverse: Hawaii Dala
- Reverse: Mahalo Dala
- Reverse: $10 Dala
