Kingdom of Hawaii - King Kalakaua Coronation Medal
This specimen is in my Hawaiiana collection.
King Kalakaua was elected King in 1882 with a very informal swearing-in ceremony.
In 1883, his world-class coronation took months to plan and prepare for.
I'm researching this medal.
If you have information beyond the Medcalf & Russell book, Hawaiian Money Second Edition, I would greatly appreciate it.
I'm looking for the manufacturer, designer, and mintage.

Not my area of knowledge, but if I run across something in the future I will pass it along. Good luck!
