1895 So-Called Dollar HK-270a, Fine Arts Building
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The stated aims of the 1895 exposition in Atlanta were to show off the resources and prospects of the cotton states, to help the cotton industry recover from the Civil War, to build trade with the Spanish-speaking countries of the Americas, and to present a city rebuilt after the fires of 1864. HK-270a is the aluminum version of the Fine Arts Building medal from the Cotton States and International Exposition. Its reverse shows the building with its name below and the exposition title arched above, signed at the bottom by S. D. Childs & Co., Chicago; the obverse carries the phoenix rising from flames between 1865 and 1895, with "Resurgens" in the band above it. It measures 38 mm, the same as the brass HK-270.
