The Honolulu Mint's web site gives this background:
"Steven Lee, an award winning jewelry designer, founded the
Honolulu Mint in 1985. Lee applied his expertise and artistry
to first produce a line of coin and ingot jewelry featuring
Hawaiian Royalty. Steven Lee was trained at the US government
San Francisco Mint where the nations' proof-quality commemorative
coins are minted. There he studied press design and minting
operations. An avid collector of historical and numismatic
collectibles, Lee has also engineered and built a number of
minting presses."
