Description
Nobody has traced the origin of the Andrew Jackson dollar, Hibler and Kappen say, but its reverse dates it: the legend announces a centennial of Tennessee's admission into the union of states "Held at Nashville June 1. 1896," the opening date first set for the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, which was later moved to the following year. HK-275a is the white metal striking, 35 mm, a companion to the bronze HK-275. The state seal sits in the center circle of that reverse. On the obverse, the bust of Jackson faces left within a closed wreath, flanked by "Andrew" and "Jackson," under an arc of 13 stars and above his nickname, "Old Hickory." Both sides have beaded borders. The exposition finally opened in Nashville in May 1897 and closed at the end of October.
