<p>The reverse features<strong> Mary Kawena Pukui</strong> wearing a hibiscus flower, a kukui nut lei, and a muʻumuʻu adorned with an aloha print. Stylized depictions of water appear in the background. Inscriptions include “<strong>United States of America</strong>,” “<strong>$1</strong>,” and “<strong>Nānā I Ke Kumu</strong>,” which translates literally to “Look to the Source.”</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph --> General Notes: <!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Nānā I Ke Kumu is the title of a series of books that Pukui helped produce with the Queen Liliʻuokalani Children's Center. The phrase itself is considered very evocative of Pukui’s life, work, and legacy, as she was someone who was constantly consulted for her expertise on various aspects of Hawaiian knowledge. Hawaiian knowledge is symbolized through the leaves and nuts of Hawaii’s state tree, the kukui.</p>
