| Description |
Official Statehood Medal Commemorating the Admission of Hawaii as the 50th State of the United States of America, August 21, 1959. This medal was struck in 1959. This is a very large medal with a diameter of 2 ½ inches and a weight 4.0 ounces of .999 fine silver. Exactly 3,000 of the sterling silver version of official Hawaii Statehood medal were struck. Each of the sterling silver medals has a serial number on its edge. The actual surviving numbers of these medals are considerable less when you consider how many went to the melting pots in the late 70’s and early 80’s. It’s also estimated that less than a 1,000 sterling silver medals have the incorrect spelling of the island of Niihau. The spelling error medals were minted first. This sterling silver Hawaii Statehood medal has the spelling error of the island of Niihau. The error can be seen as “NII HAU” (space inserted between NII and HAU). This silver Hawaii Statehood Medal is attributed as:
Medcalf and Russell 2MS-2a (Hawaiian Money: Standard Catalog Second Edition, 1991, page 100)
This medal can also be attributed in the following references:

Only 50 medals in gold was stuck and is a true rarity. The Niihau error is not seen on the the gold version. 19,700 of the bronze version of this medal were stuck. Both the error and non-error exist in the bronze version. |
