1883 Hawaiian Dollar. . Medcalf-Russell 2CPC-4. PCGS graded Proof 66 Red & Brown CAC Approved. In a new secure plus holder. Pop 1; none finer at PCGS. The finest known. Wonderful shades of red and brown colors. This amazing Dollars beautiful fiery golden red cameo devices seem to float over the essentially flawless deep liquid-molten gold fields. A few subtle hairlines are seen in the obverse field, but these are of no consequence where the majestic eye appeal is concerned. The gleaming coppery fields offer delicate contrast with a hint of toning that overlays the entire surface both obverse and reverse. Identifiers are few, but we note a small toning dot below the third A in KALAKAUA's name, another little dot above the circular typographic "stop" to the right of the date. Blushes of lovely pale magenta and blue on either side of the crown on reverse. The larger diameter of the one-dollar denomination allowed the mint the luxury of placing the entire royal coat of arms and supporters on the piece. The reverse features an elaborate ermine mantle. Over the years, strong growth of interest in Hawaiiana collecting has driven the interest in such pieces to heights unimagined by collectors and coin dealers of a few decades ago when these were more or less relegated to the backwaters of American numismatics. Only the one Proof copper dollar has been graded by PCGS at this level (see below) which means that bidders have a fair shot at owning what has to be the Finest Known copper pattern dollar of the Kingdom of Hawaii. This specimen is truly spectacular. It is perfectly possible for the present glittering Proof to become the centerpiece in a collection of Hawaiian coins. Pop 1; the only example graded in PR66 RB at PCGS. Kalakaua I, born David La'amea Kamanakapu'u Mahinulani Nalaiaehuokalani Lumialani Kalakaua and sometimes called The Merrie Monarch (November 16, 1836 - January 20, 1891), was the last reigning king of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He served in office from February 12, 1874 until his death at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco, California, on January 20, 1891. When King Kamehameha V, the last monarch of the Kamehameha dynasty, died on December 12, 1872 without naming a successor to the throne several candidates arose, including William C. Lunalilo and Kalakaua. Lunalilo was the more popular of the two while Kalakaua was much more conservative than his main opponent, Lunalilo. On January 1, 1873, a popular election was held for the office of King of Hawaii. Lunalilo won with an overwhelming majority. The next day, the legislature confirmed the popular vote and elected Lunalilo unanimously. Kalakaua conceded. However, barely a year later, Lunalilo died on February 3, 1874. (King Lunalilo did not enjoy good health during his reign. He had some bad health habits; for example, he was an alcoholic like many of the Hawaiian kings.) With his death, Kalakaua was elected to replace him, supported by the legislature although many of the populace, mainly the native Hawaiian and British subjects in the Kingdom, preferred Queen Dowager Emma, who stood against him. Upon ascending the throne, Kalakaua named his brother, William Pitt Leleiohoku, as his heir, putting an end to the era of elected kings in Hawaii. Among many other things, his famous coinage keeps his memory alive with the people of Hawaii and coin collectors here in the U.S. and worldwide. Note: So significant was the pending issuance of coinage for the Kingdom of Hawaii, even before the coins were made, the October 1883 issue of "The American Journal of Numismatics" had this summary of Kalakauas coinage before it was known that a dime-sized coin was to be substituted for the eighth-dollar denomination: KALAKAUA I, the King of the Hawaiian Islands, has recently had dies prepared for striking silver coins for his realm, brief allusion to which was made in the last number of the Journal. These dies were executed at Philadelphia, under the direction of the Mint authorities, and the money is to be struck by permission of our Government in the Mint at San Francisco. There are to be four denominations Dollars, Halves, Quarters and Eighths bearing substantially the same devices. The Dollar shows on the obverse the naked bust of the King to observer's right, surrounded by the legend, KALAKAUA I KING OF HAWAII, and the date, 1883, at the bottom. It is said by those who have seen the coins, that "the profile head of the King compares favorably with that of many rulers of much more important countries," and that " the coinage itself, in beauty of design and character of workmanship, is quite equal to that of many of the older nations of Europe." Whether this be a correct judgment we can better determine hereafter. On the reverse will be seen blazoned the royal arms. The shield is displayed on a mantle, which, in an engraving of the piece we have seen, seems to be ermine. The national "mantle," however, in the arms, is properly the famous feather cloak, such as was worn by Kamehameha the Great, and his chiefs, in the ancient and prosperous days of the islands, and which forms the "royal robe" of the present king on State occasions; above the shield is the royal crown.
