(1904) So-Called Dollar HK-319a, LA Purchase Expo Electricity & Fraternity Brass
Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The Temple of Fraternity, a 200 by 300 foot building at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, fills the reverse of HK-319a with its cost of 200,000 dollars lettered below. Turn the brass piece over and the larger Palace of Electricity appears, 525 by 750 feet, with an oddly precise cost of 399,940 dollars. Both sides carry the heading "Worlds Fair St. Louis." HK-319a is the brass, reeded-edge version of a medal Hibler and Kappen list first in aluminum (HK-319), part of the Exhibition Palace series that recorded the fair's buildings by size and cost. The exposition opened on April 30, 1904, a year later than first planned. Brass, 36 mm.
