Interesting fact
The Pattern ⅛ Dollar - Kalākaua I 1883 from Hawaii (United States) made of Silver (.900) is a rare and unique coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1883 as a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential new coin design, but it was ultimately never adopted or produced in large quantities. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a valuable piece of numismatic history.
