Okay, so have this larger gold colored coin, but it is super light and seems to be made out of aluminum? Just a novelty item?
Thanks!

I know my answer was not very informative but it is an expensive coin and there are many copies / replicas out there. I suspect the RMM? to the left of the head indicates it is a copy ?

I think that's RHM, for the Royal Hawaiian Mint Co.

They have made replica coins in gold anodized aluminum.

Does it have any collectible value?

Did an ebay search and came up with these:

It has the look of a tourist coin, something that would be sold in a curio shop.

The RHM hallmark above the left dot is the identifier that aids in its identification.

Most collectors get confused with the RHM initials. This is not a Royal Hawaiian Mint (Bernard von NotHaus) issue.

I've blogged about this previously http://thehawaiiananumismatist.com/.../03/21/1663/ #8206
