I should have noted that the obverse has got the mug of King
Kalakaua I, while the reverse has the Hawaiian coat of arms.
There are also loads of 'fantasy' pieces struck in the recent
past. Most of these are bullion coins bearing the portraits
of Kalakaua, Kamehamea or Liliuokalani. They have nothing to
do with the old kingdom, though.
