Hawaii Patterns refer to a series of experimental coins produced in the late 19th century, specifically around 1936, as part of the United States government's consideration of establishing Hawaii as a state. The P50c designation indicates a 50-cent denomination, and these coins were primarily made as patterns rather than for circulation. They are notable for their unique designs, which often showcase Hawaiian motifs and reflect the cultural heritage of the islands. The rarity and historical significance of these pieces make them highly sought after by collectors, particularly those focused on United States numismatics and territorial coins.
