I was so tempted to buy the many coins in Aikahi Aloha Coin Shop. Afterall, I have been buying coins from the internet. Seldom do I get to fidget with them!
It includes the Diamond Head, with just a small depiction of the mountain in the background. But I came away with this round. Yeah, I bought only one piece. And it is a special round that depicts the essence of freedom.
Returning to New Hampshire, Stark retired from public life and pursued farming and business interests. In 1809, he declined an invitation to attend a reunion of Bennington veterans due to ill health. Though unable to travel, he sent a toast to be read at the event which stated, "Live free or die: Death is not the worst of evils." The first part, "Live Free or Die," was later adopted as the state motto of New Hampshire. Living to the age of 94, Stark died on May 8, 1822 and was buried in Manchester.
"Live Free or Die" is the official motto of the U.S. state of New Hampshire, adopted by the state in 1945. It is possibly the best-known of all state mottos, partly because it conveys an assertive independence historically found in American political philosophy and partly because of its contrast to the milder sentiments found in other state mottos. The phrase was adopted from a toast written by General John Stark, New Hampshire's most famous soldier of the American Revolutionary War, on July 31, 1809.
I love this silver round! Who would believe that I found it in Hawaii?
