Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
This brass die mule (Pa-Ph 229) combines two unrelated Centennial token dies: the Centennial commemorative die with Liberty Bell design, the central symbol of the Exposition paired with the Centennial commemorative die featuring George Washington portrait bust. The Lingg firm created mule combinations by pairing obverse and reverse dies from different merchant or commemorative series, producing distinctive cross-die varieties. The Centennial drew nearly ten million visitors to Philadelphia between May and November 1876, a figure that transformed the city's economy and created a booming market for portable souvenirs.
