Description

Upland was the Swedish settlement on the Delaware that William Penn renamed Chester, and HK-141 marks that change two centuries on. Its reverse holds only "Upland / 1682 / Chester / 1882" inside an open wreath tied with a ribbon; the obverse is the same left-facing Penn bust used on HK-140. Penn and about a hundred followers left Deal, England, aboard the Welcome on September 1, 1682, landed at New Castle on October 27 and reached Upland on October 30. He stayed at Chester for a time and convened the first Assembly there, which on December 7 passed the first laws of the province. Chester held its part of the 1882 bicentennial on October 23. White metal, 35 mm.
