1901 HK-645a, Detroit Bicentennial Dollar
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
July 24 to 26, 1901, were the dates of Detroit's bicentennial, two hundred years after the founding of 1701, and the reverse of HK-645a sets them out inside a wreath: "Bi-Centennial / of the / Founding of / Detroit Mich." The obverse pictures two women standing before a city of buildings, the years 1701 and 1901 placed left and right, under the motto "Speramus Meliora" and over "Resurget Cineribus," each motto ringed by thirteen stars. Hibler and Kappen list this bronze piece as the companion of the white metal HK-645, at the same 35 mm. No maker or sponsor is named in the listing. Both faces are finished with beaded borders.
