This is a 1883 Hawaii 25 cent silver coin, known as the Hapaha (Hawaiian for quarter). This 90% silver coin was authorized by King Kalākaua I and designed by the U.S. Mint, this historic coin features the King's portrait on one side and the Hawaiian coat of arms with the denomination marked as ¼ D. and HAPAHA on the reverse.
This coin is a piece of history from the Kingdom of Hawaii, which adds to its unique and collectible value for numismatists and coin enthusiasts. Despite the scratches, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable addition to any collection of world coins.
Hawaiian silver coins from 1883 were only struck for a short time and as many were later melted down by the U.S. government, these 90% silver 1883 quarter-dollars are quite rare today and are highly prized by collectors.
