1889 So-Called Dollar HK-616, Maryland Exposition
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
Three harness horses pulling sulkies race to the right across the reverse of HK-616, under "Maryland Exposition" and above the dates "Sept. 9 to 14. 1889." The obverse carries a bust of the Hon. Frank Brown, facing right, with his title as president of the Maryland Agricultural & Mechanical Association around the lower edge, both sides within beaded borders. The medal is the record Hibler and Kappen give of the event: a week-long exposition held by that association in September 1889, with harness racing evidently a feature. They list no maker and no account of the fair beyond the medal's own lettering. HK-616 is the white metal striking, measuring 38 mm; the same design was also struck in bronze as HK-616a.
