Coin Details
Description
George T. Morgan engraved this Mint issue for Pennsylvania's bicentennial of 1882, the two hundredth anniversary of William Penn's landing. HK-138 shows Penn's bust facing the viewer inside a beaded circle, the dates 1682 and 1882 running vertically at either side, with "Mint of the United States" around the top and "Philadelphia" between stars below. The reverse is six lines of lettering naming the celebration of the 200th anniversary of the landing of Penn, dated Oct. 24, 1882. The Mint also struck smaller 26 mm copper and bronze medals for marchers to wear in that day's parade. Hibler and Kappen warn that yellow bronze restrikes with matte surfaces may exist. Brass, 38 mm; Julian CM-40.
