Description
President William McKinley was greeting the public in the Temple of Music at the Pan-American Exposition late on the afternoon of September 6, 1901, when the anarchist Leon Czolgosz shot him; he died on September 14. HK-290 records the tragedy. Its obverse shows his bust turned partly right under "President McKinley / Born Jan. 29, 1843." with "Assassinated in Buffalo / Sept. 6, 1901. / Died Sept. 14, 1901." below, inside a beaded border. The reverse is the Temple of Music itself, named beneath the building, with "Pan-American Exposition" around the top. This reeded brass piece has an aluminum counterpart, HK-290a. Brass, 34 mm.
