Yesterday, I visited the National Museum of American History (Washington DC) and got a good look at this coin. It’s a coincidence that my last blog entry is a copy of this original specimen.
Liliuokalani gold
PCGS 2M-286 and PCGS 2M-287
Heritage Auction results…
It’s ironic that the 2M-287 LILIVOCALANIA DEI-GRATIA in 14 KT gold was the last auction lot for the January 17, 2017 Heritage Auction.
On January 17, 1893 was the overthrow of Kingdom of Hawaii and Queen Liliʻuokalani was the last reigning monarch of the Kingdom of Hawaii.
PCGS 2M-286 sold for $140 (1991 M&R $50)
PCGS 2M-287 sold for $750 (1991 M&R $300)
21 mm 18K Gold Proof Liliuokalani
How do you identify the date of this coin?
Reverse has the year 1986. 1986 is the year the reverse die was created.
This coin was issued in 1987. Mintage is low and its in a top grade tier. A very collectible Hawaiian proof gold coin.
Gold proof coins are highly desirable. Just look at the proof coins US Gold series.
