| Obverse description | Right-facing bust of King Kalākaua I with curly hair and beard occupying the central field, with the date 1883 in the lower exergue. The encircling legend reads KALAKAUA I KING OF HAWAII with denticled border. The scalp of the effigy appears unusually close to the legend, a known indicator of a replica rather than an authentic strike. |
