Historical Insight:
This coin pays tribute to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, home to two of the world's most active volcanoes—Mauna Loa and K'lauea. Established in 1916, the park preserves vast lava landscapes, sacred cultural sites, and native ecosystems found nowhere else. The dramatic reverse design captures the explosive energy of volcanic activity, a central part of Hawaiian heritage and geological wonder. As a burnished version, this coin was minted in smaller numbers and appeals to collectors seeking low-mintage, high-quality alternatives to standard bullion issues.
