3296) "Hawaii", Cook Islands: Coin Minted By: B.H. Mayer's Kunstprageanstalt GmbH at their facilities in Munich: Coin Coordinated by Coin Invest Trust (CIT): Year of Coin issue: 2024:
Hawaii is an island state of the United States, in the
Pacific Ocean about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) southwest of the U.S. mainland. It
is the only state not on the North American mainland, the only state that is an
archipelago, and the only state in the tropics.
Hawaii consists of 137 volcanic islands that comprise
almost the entire Hawaiian archipelago (the exception, which is outside the
state, is Midway Atoll). Spanning 1,500 miles (2,400 km), the state is
physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of
Oceania. Hawaii's ocean coastline is consequently the fourth-longest in the
U.S., at about 750 miles (1,210 km).
The eight main islands, from northwest to southeast, are
Niʻihau,
Kauaʻi, Oʻahu,
Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi,
Kahoʻolawe,
Maui, and Hawaiʻi, after which the state is
named; the latter is often called the "Big Island" or "Hawaii
Island" to avoid confusion with the state or archipelago.
The uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands make up
most of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, the
largest protected area in the U.S. and the fourth-largest in the world.
Of the 50 U.S. states, Hawaii is the eighth-smallest in
land area and the 11th-least populous; but with 1.4 million residents, it ranks
13th in population density.
Two-thirds of Hawaii residents live on O'ahu, home to the
state's capital and largest city, Honolulu.
Hawaii is among the country's most diverse states, owing
to its central location in the Pacific and over two centuries of migration. As
one of only six majority-minority states, it has the only Asian American
plurality, the largest Buddhist community, and largest proportion of
multiracial people in the U.S. Consequently, Hawaii is a unique melting pot of
North American and East Asian cultures, in addition to its indigenous Hawaiian
heritage.
Settled by Polynesians sometime between 1000 and 1200 CE,
Hawaii was home to numerous independent chiefdoms.
Hawaii is the most recent state to join the union, on
August 21, 1959.
Historically dominated by a plantation economy, Hawaii
remains a major agricultural exporter due to its fertile soil and uniquely
tropical climate in the U.S. Its economy has gradually diversified since the
mid-20th century, with tourism and military defense becoming the two largest
sectors. Hawaii is the third-wealthiest state, and residents have the longest
life expectancy of any U.S. state, at 80.7 years.
The Coin:
Aloha and welcome to Kauai : the garden island of Hawaii! The volcanic island is not only famous for its lush vegetation and impressive variety of plants, but also for its spectacular red rocks and cliffs, formed by millions of years of erosion and volcanic activity.
Pictured is an original section of one of the oldest Hawaiian islands.
As with its predecessor, the Grand Canyon, the ultra deep relief is created thanks to smartminting® technology. But it is the realistic colouring that makes this coin a numismatic wonder of nature.
The Reverse of the $25 (Twenty Five Dollars) Coin bears an original section of one of the oldest Hawaiian islands.
The Obverse of the $25 (Twenty Five Dollars) bears an image of King Charles III facing left. The peripheral inscriptions are - "CHARLES III. 25 DOLLARS. COOK ISLANDS".
