1915 HK-413, Panama-Pacific Expo Dollar

Coin Details

Description

Tennessee's state seal, inside a circle with "For Tennessee Exposition Fund" around it, a star at the lower edge and the microscopic signature "Robbins Co Attleboro" beneath, makes up the reverse of HK-413, the state's fund medal for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition. Its obverse is the sailing ship used on several state medals, carried between the ribbons "The Land Divided" and "The World United" and ringed by the exposition's name and "San Francisco 1915." The fair's tallest feature was the Tower of Jewels, 435 feet high and hung with thousands of cut-glass gems that flashed under the floodlights. Tennessee sold the medal ahead of the fair to help fund its exhibit. HK-413 is bronze, 38 mm; HK-413a is silver-plated bronze.
