Description
Philadelphia old and new face each other on the reverse of HK-140: in a circle at the left, dated 1682, is Penn's House, and in a circle at the right, dated 1882, is City Hall, with a winged woman between them at the top. Below sits a small shield with an animal on each side and an eagle above, over a ribbon with the state motto "Virtue Liberty Independence." The obverse is William Penn's bust facing left, his first and last names in the borders. The 1882 bicentennial filled Philadelphia from October 22 to 27, with ceremonies in Fairmount Park and at the Academy of Music, and on October 25 the new electric light added effects to the evening pageants. White metal, 35 mm; HK-140a is bronze.
