1894 So-Called Dollar HK-256, State Seal
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
A modified California state seal sits within an irregular border of scrolls on the obverse of HK-256, with a single star beneath and the fair's name, California Midwinter International Exposition, around the edge inside a beaded border. Neither side is dated, but the fair was held in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park from February to July 1894. The reverse is the five-building design of HK-254: five beaded round panels showing the exposition's main halls, with a caduceus, palette and brushes, mechanic's tools and a bouquet of produce filling the spaces between them and the Milwaukee firm's microscopic mark at the bottom. This piece is aluminum and 45 mm in diameter. The same seal side, paired with facts about San Francisco, is HK-257.
