The Hawaii Sesquicentennial half dollar was struck in 1928 by the United States Bureau of the Mint in honor of the 150th anniversary of Captain James Cook's landing in Hawaii, the first European to reach there. The coin depicts Captain Cook on the obverse and a Hawaiian chieftain on the reverse. Only 10,000 were struck for the public, making the coin rare and valuable.

  • 夏威夷一百五十周年纪念半美元(英語:Hawaii Sesquicentennial half dollar)是美国铸币局1928年铸造的一种银质硬币,纪念第一位欧洲人詹姆斯·库克船长登上夏威夷群岛150周年。银币正面是库克船长的侧脸,背面则是夏威夷原住民酋长。铸币局一共只生产一万枚向公众发售,所以这种纪念币稀有而珍贵。 1927年,夏威夷领地通过决议,呼吁美国政府发行纪念币,纪念库克抵达夏威夷150周年。美国财政部长安德鲁·W·梅隆觉得此项提议理据充分,所以没有像针对其它硬币发行建议那样表态反对。授权发行夏威夷半美元的法案在国会顺利通过,不但没有议员反对,也没有任何人提出修正案,再于1928年3月7日经卡尔文·柯立芝总统签字生效。 雕塑家切斯特·比奇根据朱丽叶·梅·弗雷泽的草图制出纪念币的石膏模型。不过,比奇的设计方案未能顺利获批,铸币局和夏威夷领地的国会代表都提出意见。这些意见解决后,纪念币终于投产。夏威夷一百五十周年纪念半美元的发行价达二美元,创下半美元纪念币新高,但很快就销售一空并快速升值,如今单价至少也有上千美元。 (zh)
