1884-1885 So-Called Dollar HK-143c, 5 La Liberty Bell Dollar
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The Liberty Bell was lent to New Orleans for the cotton exposition of 1884-1885 and was one of its favorite exhibits, and HK-143c puts the bell on its obverse, with Liberty to the left and Bell to the right in a beaded circle and the legend "Loaned to the Cotton Centennial Exposition New Orleans" around. The reverse is the globe over the main building and grounds, with "The Worlds Exposition" and the years 1884 and 1885, signed in tiny letters by Edward A. Kretschman. HK-143c is white metal, 33 mm. Separate Liberty Bell medals in the same listing, HK-144a through HK-144d, record the city council of Philadelphia's resolution lending the bell and its return home in June 1885. The exposition's purpose was the centennial of the first American cotton shipped to England.
