Description
KM 3, one year type. Minted at the San Francisco Mint, for the Kingdom of Hawaii. Dime size silver coin, with the king on the obverse.Although the original mintage was 250,000 pieces, over 4,000 in Hawaiian 1883 coinage was melted by the U. S. government after Hawaii was annexed in 1898, although few of those were 10 cent coins. However, there are two additional melts which totalled over ,000 face value of Hawaiian coins, without a breakdown by denomination, and there was a major fire in Hawaii, in which a significant amount of Hawaiian coinage is believed to have been destroyed in the residential buildings. It is estimated that no more than 105,000 ten cent coins survived.
