United States, Hawaii. Hawaii centennial comission. "1883-1983". AR(?) dala (dollar). Struck 1983. KALAKUA [I KING] OF HAWAII // 1883, bearded bare head of King Kalakua I right / UA MAU KE EA[OKA AINA] I KA PONO // CENTENNIAL DALA , crowned arms of King Kalakua. BU, apparently deliberately irregular flan. possibly an error, more likely deliberately created - one-off? or production run? who knows?.
This piece was apparently deliberately broadstruck (with no collar around flan) on an escutcheon or badge-shaped blank. This may have had some significance in the 1983 centennial observations, but the purpose for it is not clear at this time.
