1847 Hawaiian Cent. NGC graded AU-58 Brown CR 4; 15 berries; KM #1D. Smooth chocolate brown color blending into deeper charcoal gray in areas. Another appealing specimen of Hawaii's one and only One Cent issue. Kamehameha III (born Kauikeaouli), whose portrait appears here, was Hawaii's longest reigning Monarch (1824-54). For those who absolutely, positively must know these things, his full Hawaiian name was Keaweawe'ula Kiwala'o Kauikeaouli Kaleiopapa -- and then lengthened to Keaweawe'ula Kiwala'o Kauikeaouli Kaleiopapa Kalani Waiakua Kalanikau Iokikilo Kiwala'o i ke kapu Kamehameha when he ascended the throne. (Try fitting that inscription around his portrait!) (PCGS # 10965) .
Estimated Value $800 - 850.
