1880 White Metal So-Called Dollar HK-591, Nashville Centennial Exposition
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
Andrew Jackson on horseback, his name on the base of the statue, appears on the reverse of this Nashville medal, framed in a circle with "Tennessee Historical Society" around it and a wreath at the bottom. The obverse shows an exposition building with "Nashville Centennial Exposition" above it and "1780-1880" below, dating the city's centennial year. HK-591 is white metal, 40 mm, and Rulau lists it as Tn-Na 42. Hibler and Kappen record no maker, sponsor or details of the 1880 exposition, so the medal itself is the record: a hundredth anniversary of Nashville's founding, with the Tennessee Historical Society named and an equestrian Jackson chosen for the reverse. It is listed in white metal only.
