Brass souvenir token titled 'Hawaii Dollar Honolulu' from 1976

This commemorative token was produced in the mid-1970s as a tourist souvenir from Hawaii, featuring iconic imagery of Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach. Such tokens were popular keepsakes sold to visitors in Honolulu and other Hawaiian tourist destinations during this era. These souvenir dollars became collectible items representing Hawaii's tourism boom in the 1970s, when the islands were establishing themselves as a premier vacation destination. They appeal to numismatists specializing in exonumia (tokens and medals), Hawaii memorabilia collectors, and vintage tourism enthusiasts who appreciate mid-20th century Americana and Pacific travel history. The tokens serve as tangible reminders of Hawaii's cultural identity and its significance in American leisure travel during the post-statehood period.
