The statue of King Kamehameha I is etched onto the right side of the coin and his outstretched hand is pointing toward the eight main Hawaiian Islands, which are etched into the left side of the coin. The Hawaii state motto is etched into the lower left side of the coin: "ua mau ke ea o ka aina i ka pono" (the life of the land is perpetuated in righteousness). The word "Hawaii" and the year Hawaii was admitted to the union - 1959 - are etched into the top of the coin. The year the coin was minted - 2008 and "e pluribus unum (out of the many, one) are etched into the bottom of the coin.
