Hawaii's statehood anniversary issues occupy an odd corner of American numismatics — struck by private mints under state authorization rather than the U.S. Mint, which had no jurisdiction over commemorative coins at the state level. This 1984 piece marks the 25th anniversary of Hawaii's admission on August 21, 1959, the last state admitted before Alaska's precedence reshuffled the standard "49th and 50th" memory into something Americans still occasionally get backwards.
