On one side of the coin there is a side profile of Captain James cook situated to the left of the coin, to the right of him is a ship (under the ship states "Jan. 18, 1778" and an aerial view of the Hawaiian islands.  Encircling them both are these words that start in the upper right side of the coin "CAPTAIN JAMES COOK" then on the bottom center it says "DISCOVERER OF HAWAII".  On the other side is The Kind Kamehameha "statue pose" in the center of the coin, in which behind him coconut trees and diamond can be seen as well as men on a canoe.  Encircling him are the words "KAMEHAMEHA THE GREAT  FOUNDER OF THE HAWAIIAN KINGDOM. The coin is about as big as a condom and there are no ridges on the perimeterany idea whether this is coin or commemorative medallion? what it's worth? how to clean it?[/QUOTE]
