This 1995 Gold and Silver coin set commemorates the 200th Anniversary of the Hawaiian islands coming together under one flag.

The History behind this set is fascinatingπŸ˜€

These "Unification" coins are a tribute to King Kamehameha's struggle to unify the Hawaiian islands. This was a 13 year struggle....
Many say that he is the father of his people, and when he sailed to Oahu he had 800 specially built canoes, and 16,000 men with him.
In peace time he introduced many new innovations, and will forever be remembered by his people.

Nice coins! I also have a collection of Swedish memorial coins and old Ones. It is like they telling a story about the past.
Ex. 5 million mark from Germany tells me to be afraid of hyperinflation
