The state of Hawaii is located 2,000 miles west of the United States mainland, and is both the only state in the US that is located in the tropics and outside of North America. The Hawaiian Islands consist of an archipelago of some 137 islands, with eight major islands inhabited by Americans and indigenous Hawaiians on a year-round basis.
Of Hawaii’s eight major islands, the Big Island is home to the most active volcanoes in the island chain. In total, there are five major active volcanoes that helped form the Big Islands over hundreds of thousands of years. Kilauea is the most active volcano on the island and is known for its consistent, long-running eruptions.
The obverse side of 2012 5 oz Silver ATB Hawaii Volcanoes Coins comes with a depiction of President George Washington. Designed in 1932 by John Flanagan, the effigy shows Washington in left-profile relief and it has features on the US quarter since 1932 when the nation marked the bicentennial of Washington’s birth.
On the reverse field of the 2012 Silver ATB Hawaii Volcanoes Coin is a depiction of Kilauea. In this design honoring Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Kilauea is active and spewing magma. Kilauea has a history of long-running eruption patterns. For example, Kilauea erupted on a near-continuous basis from its eastern rift zone from January 1983 to April 2018.
