Bernard von NotHaus founded the Royal Hawaiian Mint in 1974 and spent decades operating it as a private bullion and medallion producer before his later, far more controversial project — the Liberty Dollar — brought him a federal conviction for counterfeiting in 2011. This 1994 piece honoring Princess Victoria Kaʻiulani predates that legal catastrophe and sits in a legitimate chapter of his career, issued during a period of intense Hawaiian sovereignty sentiment following the U.S. government's formal apology for the 1893 overthrow of Queen Liliʻuokalani.
Kaʻiulani died in 1899 at twenty-three, never having reclaimed the throne her aunt lost six years earlier.
