1886 So-Called Dollar HK-604, Milwaukee Industrial Exposition
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The Milwaukee Industrial Exposition of September 1 to 21, 1886, is named around the obverse of this white metal medal, which sets an emblem of industry in the center circle: a wreath, a globe, a horseshoe, an anvil and an oval shield combined in one crowded device. "Milwaukee Industrial" runs above and "Exposition Sept. 1-21. 86." below, between stars. The reverse shows the exposition building with "Milwaukee Wis." beneath it. HK-604 is the only number Hibler and Kappen list for the event, in white metal at 43 mm, and they give no maker, sponsor or history of the fair. What can be said comes from the medal itself: a three-week industrial show in Milwaukee in September 1886, pictured through its building and its emblems of the forge and of trade.
