Coin Details
Description
New Haven, Connecticut, celebrated the 250th anniversary of its settlement on April 25, 1888, and HK-613, in white metal, belongs to the simpler of the two medals Hibler and Kappen list for the day. The obverse carries the city seal, ringed by "Seal of the City of New Haven, Conn." and a star, inside a beaded border. The reverse holds a closed wreath with the dates 1638 and April 25, 1888, across it, and around the outside "250th Anniversary of the Settlement of New Haven, Conn." A bronze striking of these dies is HK-613a. The second design, signed by C. Theiler of Meriden, pictures the town green on one side and John Davenport preaching on the other, and was struck in bronze (HK-614) and white metal (HK-614a). This piece measures 38 mm.
