1892 HK-237, Uniface World's Columbian Expo Dollar
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
One-sided pieces form their own small group in the Chicago listing, and HK-237 heads it. The single face shows Columbus with a beard and a ruffed collar, facing left, with "Christopher Columbus" around the top and "1492-Chicago, U.S.A.- 1892" around the bottom, inside a beaded border; the back is blank. Struck in brass with a reeded edge, HK-237 measures 35 mm and is Eglit 237. A near twin, HK-237e, uses a similar bust but spells the name "Christophus" rather than Christopher. The other uniface pieces in the group are hexagonal, HK-237a to HK-237d. No maker is listed. The 1892 on the face is the anniversary year that Chicago marked with the dedication of its exposition grounds in October, ahead of the May 1893 opening.
