Hawaii 1847 Cent. 1847. Kamehameha III. Crosslet 4. Berries 7 + 8. PCGS graded Mint State 64. Red and Brown. <b>With plenty of dusky mint color issuing from the surfaces on either side, a well struck, decidedly choice and handsome Cent from the Kingdom period. Hawaii was ruled until 1893 by kings and queens before a bloodless coup overthrew the monarchy and established a Provisional government in its place. This is the only copper coin issued by the Kingdom, though there were several copper tokens privately made and circulated by certain merchants. In all, 100,000 were coined in Boston, but by 1862 the number outstanding had been reduced to approximately 11,000 according to Hawaii State Archives records. The portrait is King Kamehameha III "KA MOI" meaning The King. On the reverse, the denomination HAPA HANERI was misspelled; it should have been HANELI, there being no "R" in the Hawaiian alphabet. Kamehameha III reigned from 1824 until his death in 1854. The copper Cents from his reign could still be found in circulation as late as the 1880s.</b> <p align="center">Superior Galleries was founded in 1929 and has been a leader in
