Description
1881 Hawaii Five Cent, AU Details
Original, MAILLECHORT Edge, M. 2CN-1
1881 5C Hawaii Five Cents, MAILLECHORT Edge -- Repaired -- PCGS
Genuine. AU Details. M. 2CN-1. In 1881, King Kalakaua of Hawaii
became the first emperor to circumnavigate the world. During his
travels, he encountered a New Caledonia nickel mine owner, who
requested the Paris Mint strike 200 five cent pieces for Hawaii.
These were patterns, and did not circulate in Hawaii. Some original
examples, including the present lot, display MAILLECHORT on the
edge. Maillechort is a French word that translates to English as
German silver. Originals can be distinguished from aluminum
"restrikes" by the presence of a small cross atop the crown. This
silver-gray five-cent piece is mildly bright from a wipe, but
retains ample luster throughout the legends and portrait.
