Description

HK-416 puts the Tower of Jewels on its obverse, labelled above the building and set within "California the Exposition State" and "San Francisco 1915," and on its reverse the ship passing through the Panama Canal from HK-414, dated 19 and 15 and ringed by "Panama Canal Completion Exposition." It is thus a pairing of two sides already used in the Exposition State group, with no standing figure at all. A related copper piece, HK-416a, has a Tower of Jewels side lettered "Panama Pacific International" and "Exposition" and a ship side from a different die signed by The Gustave Fox Co of Cincinnati. The tower rose 435 feet over the grounds. HK-416 is gilt brass with a reeded edge, 35 mm, struck for the 1915 exposition.
