Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is one of two U.S. national parks located in the state of Hawaii. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1987. It includes two volcanoes: Kīlauea, one of the world's most active, and Mauna Loa, the world's highest volcano (Source: www.wikipedia.org).
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design that showcases the Hawaiian Volcanoes National Park, which is located on the Big Island of Hawaii. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, while the reverse side depicts an image of the Kilauea volcano, which is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. The coin's design was created by the Cook Islands-based artist, Ian Rank-Broadley, and it was minted by the Perth Mint in Australia.
