Around the edge is the date, denominaton, and the Hawaiian phrase “IKAIKA I HELU NUI” which translates as “Strength in Numbers”. A holographic security sticker dominates the central reverse, while the very edge of the reverse reveals the coin’s serial number and the full public address.<p>This piece is accompanied by a very special matched Certificate of Authenticity that outlines the coin info including the dimensions, public address, and serial number.
