This one cent copper Keneta or “One Cent” features the profile of King Kamehameha III of the Hawaiian Islands. It was the first of only five coins issued for general circulation in the Kingdom of Hawai'i.
In the early 1800s, merchants relied on foreign coinage, but had frequent problems with currency shortages. In 1847, Kamehameha III commissioned 100,000 copper one cent coins.
Designed and engraved by Edward Hulseman, the obverse of the coin depicts an image of Kamehameha III with the words “Ka Moi” or “the King” while the reverse features a laurel wreath with the words “Aupuni Hawaii” or “Kingdom of Hawaii” along the edge and the words “Hapa Haneri” or “one penny” in the center. The coins were unpopular due to the poor casting of Kamehameha’s features and the misspelling of “Hapa Hanele.” While the coins were a disappointment to the Hawaiians, they remained a legal tender until 1884 and circulated even later.
