A Little Silver Aloha
๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ 
Hereโs a little island treat for you this evening. This 1oz .999 fine silver round commemorates the July 11th, 1991 total eclipse of the sun over Hawaii. The round was issued by Hawaiiโs famous Bishop Museum.
One side of the round shows the sun moving through the phases of eclipse over one of Hawaiiโs mountains. The coinโs opposite side depicts a beach scene. On the beach islanders gather to view the eclipse at totality.
Hope theyโre all wearing their special eclipse glasses!
I was lucky to find this round in the generic bin at my local coin shop. Generic prices are always fantastic. Plus, finding anything at the coin shop has been a struggle lately!
Aloha and Mahalo friends!

No. I celebrated my 21st birthday in prison.
Oh dang! Maybe you do need a belated present.
@dfinney I have never seen this one before, nice piece.............
Oooo I love it when I find things you havenโt seen! Itโs like a contest I am only having with myself! โบ๏ธ Happy Friday! Did you get a turkey croissant sandwich this week?

Nice find @dfinney! The generic bins are always the treasure chest that I check first... you never know if there might be something cool in there. ๐
I love the generic bins but they have been soooooooo depleted lately. Are you buying everything at my spots? ๐
Haha, I haven't been that lucky! Whenever I get up to Northgate it's like everything has been picked over... I usually end up buying numismatic coins there or silver eagles... which means that someone else is raiding our stash!
I think silver is priced too low for anyone to see their good stuff to the shop. When the price goes up a couple of dollars the generic bin will fill up again. I had to resort to eBay to get my fix today! ๐
Nice round, @dfinney! I'm going to look into the museum and see what other rounds they've made.
Thanks @themanwithnoname. It might just be the one. I think the Hawaiian Mint (?) made it for the museum? Bishop Museum is great. All Hawaiian artifacts and history. Definitely worth a visit if you are ever in Honolulu. ๐
Mahalo for this post, my sweet friend! So now... I have to find that round for myself, hehehe. Thanks for sharing @dfinney!
Whenever I see Mahalo lately I think of you! Steem Silver Goldโs number one beach babe. ๐
