Historical Context
This is an excellent article from the perspective of numismatics. But, because it’s featured on the main page, this changes its significance to the topic of Hawai’i and it’s history. For example, Captain Cook did not discover Hawai’i, which the coin states as fact on it obverse. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2605:E000:90D7:2600:BCF9:E0D:1CF0:3215 (talk) 16:12, 13 February 2019 (UTC)
