1889 So-Called Dollar HK-615, Fayetteville Centennial
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
North Carolina's convention at Fayetteville ratified the federal Constitution on November 21, 1789, and this white metal medal marks the hundredth anniversary of that day. Its reverse spells out the occasion on a shield crossed by a diagonal ribbon: "Centennial," with "Celebration" and 1789 above, 1889 and "Ratification" below, and "Fayetteville / N. C." at the foot. Outside the shield, tiny letters read "Quint Phila." The obverse has a male bust in a circle set within a shield, 1789 and 1889 in the shield's upper corners, "November 21st" above the circle and "Centennial" below; Hibler and Kappen do not identify the portrait. HK-615 is white metal, 38 mm. The same design was struck in aluminum (HK-615a) and bronze (HK-615b).
