Hawaii State Quarter: History & Background
The Hawaii quarter depicts King Kamehameha I, who unified the Hawaiian Islands in 1810, stretching his hand toward the island chain. The state motto 'Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono' (The Life of the Land Is Perpetuated in Righteousness) appears on the coin. As the last quarter in the 50 State Quarters series, it holds special significance as the program's finale.
How to Grade a Hawaii State Quarter
Accurate grading is the single most important factor in determining a coin's value. A difference of just a few grade points can mean 10× or more in value. Examine the highest points of the design first — these are where wear appears earliest. For the finest grades, luster, strike quality, and surface preservation all matter. Professional grading by PCGS or NGC adds certainty and typically increases resale value. Read our complete grading guide →
